Also available in:
Applied research and experimental development requirements for the expansion and intensification of aquaculture in Latin America were identified on the basis of ten-year development plans prepared by the Governments of the region, and taking into account the local needs and desires of people most affected, impact on human nutrition, feasibility of science and technology, least time required for implementation, environmental compatibility, and contributions to social futures. Structured research and experimentation following applied systems approaches were considered essential for the evaluation, transfer, refinement, and adaption of various forms of aquaculture to the region. Multidisciplinary teams have to be organized to undertake simultaneous studies on problems affecting large-scale adoption of the main aquaculture production systems. The Task Force identified some of the major problems for investigations, but recognized that many associated problems may occur in the course of Stud ies and therefore research should be conducted by multidisciplinary teams. Flexibility is needed in programme development at the Regional Centre, but quick impact and commercial-scale culture were foreseen through use of pond culture of tilapia, particularly hybrids. Much interest in the culture of indigenous species was noted, and experimental work on these are recommended. Immediate opportunities for growing tilapia in cages, carp, trout and oysters at the Centre were identified, as were longe r term opportunities for polyculture and for the farming of mussels and shrimps. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportDevelopment and Training for Participatory Extension Techniques with the Provincial Aquaculture Development Project (LAO/97/007), Participatory Development Training Centre, FAO Consultants, (15th February - 8th April 2000), Provincial Aquaculture Development Project (LAO/97/007), 2000

No results found.The Provincial Aquaculture Development Project (LAO/97/007) is funded as part of a UNDP country programme for rural development. The project is government executed through the Department of Livestock and Fisheries, with technical and management assistance provided by FAO. The project duration is three years (November 1997 – December 2000). LAO/97/007 follows on from previous UNDP/FAO aquaculture development projects that had started aquaculture activities and established feasibility. D uring these previous projects it was emphasised that the capacity of the government Livestock and Fisheries service to extend aquaculture on a wider scale was extremely weak. This has been due to a variety of reasons: • Poor accessibility of rural areas, lack of roads and government vehicles. • Difficulty in co-ordinating and managing national scale initiatives due to provincial autonomy. • Previous restrictions on inter-province travel • Lack of government funding for rural livestoc k and fisheries extension • Insufficient staff at Provincial and district level • Lack of capacity and poor incentivisation/management of district livestock officers. • Shortage of fish fingerlings and lack of distribution network during peak seasonal demand. LAO/97/007 is working in five provinces: Oudomxay, Sayaboury, Xieng Khouang, Savannakhet and Sekong Provinces. Within these provinces, there are 14 districts involved with a total of 37 farmer groups (total number of families 44 0). The target provinces are distributed along the length of the country and incorporate both lowland and upland environments (see Figure 1). Additional technical assistance and training is also provided to Government Livestock and Fisheries staff in other provinces. The project objectives are to: • Improve fish fry production from government hatcheries through structural improvements and training • Encourage fish fry production by farmers/entrepreneurs through extension of simple techniques and farmer training. • Develop the capacity of Department of Livestock and Fisheries staff to plan and conduct extension of fish culture techniques to farmers. • Form farmers groups and introduce them to fish culture as part of Department of Livestock and Fisheries extension process. • Assist farmers and hatchery entrepreneurs in their activities through provision of fish fry, broodstock and access to credit facilities.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -
