Book (stand-alone)Report of the expert consultation on viticulture (grape production) in Asia and the Pacific 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The report of the proceedings of the consultation organized by the FAO Regional Office in Bangkok, Thailand from 2 to 4 May 2000. Viticulture experts from Australia, China, India, Japan, Myanmar, Republic of Korea, Thailand and Viet Nam, along with FAO representatives, reviewed production of this nutritionally and economically important crop in the region. An estimated 370000 hectares of grape plantations in Asia-Pacific countries produce about 5 million tonnes of the fruit annually. The consult ation reviewed the problems faced by grape growers in these countries, and prospects for increased production and cooperation among the grape-growing nations in the region. The document includes summaries of national reports on grape production in the six countries as well as the recommendations made by the consultation. -
Book (stand-alone)Lychee production in the Asia-Pacific region 2002
Also available in:
No results found.A compilation of the country papers presented at and the conclusions/recommendations of the May 2001 expert consultation on lychee production in the Asia-Pacific region held in Bangkok, Thailand. First cultivated in China over 2 000 years ago, the fruit is now grown in a number of countries with subtropical climates, being most important for Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than 95 percent of the global lychee production of over 2 million tonnes. Smallholders with less than 100 trees each are the main producers and the crop is mostly sold fresh, though a third of the lychee harvest in China is dried. The country papers review production, management and marketing of the crop as well as constraints to development. Low productivity, with average yields below 5 tonnes per hectare – compared to 15 tonnes achieved in Israel and some other nations – and short shelf-life are issues needing priority attention to enable smallholder s to gain the most from the high value crop. -
