The Conference was jointly organised by the Government of Fiji and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The Conference addressed "Policy issues for Asia a nd the Pacific in the Next Round of Mulitlateral Negotiations." The theoretical outlook, framework and analysis, and background documentation to these issues were prepared by the Sugar and Beverage Group of the Raw Materials, Tropical and Horticultural Products Service, Commodities and Trade Division, FAO. These were published as Conference papers, covering a range of issues and included country studies for the major regional producers and consumers; the quantitative outlook to 2005; the impact of trade liberalisation on the world sugar market; and a discussion on the nurtitional aspects of sugar. Papers were also prepared and presented by internationally renowned speakers from the world sugar trade (Tote and Lyle - Australia; Sparks - United States; Siel Limited - India); grower and miller organizations (the Philippine Sugar Millers Association; the Thai Roong Ruang Group and the Australian Sugar Milling Council); government institutions (USDA and the Queensland Sugar Corporatio n) and other international organizations (World Bank and International Sugar Organization).

ProjectSupport for the Development of the Ginger Value Chain in Jamaica - TCP/JAM/3602 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Boosting the production of ginger in Jamaica has been identified by the Government as an important means of increasing diversity and creating opportunities for improved livelihoods in rural areas, especially among smallholder farmers. This can contribute to enhancing decent rural employment, reducing poverty, and increasing food security among a vulnerable segment of the rural population. The potential also exists for expansion to meet new markets, such as export. However, ginger production is not currently meeting its potential, primarily because of a lack of coordination among stakeholders, a limited framework in which to undertake policy direction, a lack of strategies that take advantage of market opportunities, and the occurrence and spread of ginger rhizome rot disease in key growing areas. The project aimed to provide technical assistance to develop improved governance and management structures for the ginger value chain, in order to achieve greater market development for the crop, and enhanced livelihood opportunities for all stakeholders. -
No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentForest products 1991Throughout history, the forests have been valued for the multiplicity of products and benefits that they provide, both for subsistence and for trade: foods, medicines, spices, resins, gums, latexes, wildlife, fuelwood, and of course timber and other wood products. The literature is rich with examples of international trade in forest products, many dating back thousands of years. Significantly, in most cases the products sought by traders were resins, oils, spices, and much less frequently timber . For most of the modern era, however, from a development perspective forests essentially have been seen as a source of one product: wood.
