    Working document from the FAO rapid appraisal mission. Quality standards for fruits, vegetables and pork meat in China and Hong Kong 2008
    Also available in:

    By invitation of the Ministry of Agriculture of China, FAO has conducted a rapid appraisal of the quality management systems for fruits, vegetables and pork meat in China and Hong Kong. This working document presents the findings of the mission. It gives a rapid appraisal of the different quality management systems elaborated by both public and private sectors to manage the food quality standards investigated during the mission. It presents the results of a SWOT analysis by different stakehol ders of the supply chains investigated by the appraisal mission. The document also reports the findings of a national workshop of Chinese experts convened by the Ministry of Agriculture and FAO to clarify the structure of the food quality management system in China and to propose actions to be initiated in order to face the threats confronted by the food quality management system, as identified by the SWOT analysis.

    Project
    Seafarming production statistics from China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Korea (Rep.), Singapore and Thailand
    Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project
    1990
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The seafarming production statistics tabulated in this working paper has been provided to the Regional Seafarming Project by the National Coordinators of the participating government. Production data is available for the following countries: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Korea (Rep.), Singapore, and Thailand (see figure below). Most of the data herein indicate the output from seafarming activities, however in some instances this information is not avail able and therefore the figures are replaced, where possible, with total capture fisheries values or capture and culture as a whole. Such instances are mentioned as a footnote at the bottom of each table. All the production data is in Metric Tonnes (MT) while the unit for culture area is Hectares (Ha). Readers are invited to send updated or more precise data.

    . Present state. It can be said that the engineering aspect of brackish water aquaculture industry in the region has attained a level commensurate with the present capabilities of the countries where it is now practiced. In general, as a physical unit, existing projects are hardly adequate. Aquaculture farm engineering as an art (as perhaps at this stage it is more of an art than a technology) has been a product of long development and experience by the people in the industry themselves or witho ut the contribution from organized research. It is only within very recent years that a limited amount of attention is being called to the importance of this phase of the industry. 2. Manpower and equipment. Due to the circumstances cited above the industry has not been utilizing much of labour-saving or mechanized equipment both for operation and construction. At present the industry is largely labour-intensive and depends on simple locally-devised equipment which have been developed through the years. Likewise the specialized manpower for construction and maintenance is localized and often very limited so that in many potential focal points of development this can be a major constraint. 3. Projects as engineering units. The physical make-up of brackish water aquaculture projects in the region are in general weak and inadequate as engineering structures, many of them are not geared to the production management for which they are established. For extensive type production in many d eveloping areas of the region, present projects have served for the conduct of subsistence level operation where constant maintenance is being carried out. However, to maximize production; project design, proper layout and adequate construction specifications, etc. are required.
