No results found.The economic context under which jute, abaca, coir, kenaf, sisal and allied fibres (JACKS +) sectors operate has become very challenging and competitive, and urgent action is required to ensure the sectors’ long-term economic sustainability. At the same time, the global transition towards a bio-based economy provides many new market opportunities. As requested by the Joint Meeting (JM) of the Intergovernmental Group (IGG) on Hard Fibres and the IGG on Jute, Kenaf and Allied Fibres held in Beijing, China, in October 2019, the Secretariat commissioned the development of an action plan to strengthen and streamline the efforts of the group in promoting and modernizing the JACKS+ sectors. The action plan builds on the priority areas and working groups of the IGG and covers three main themes: (1) Research and Development; (2) Sustainable Management Systems and Life-Cycle Assessment; and (3) Foresight and Business Intelligence & Transition Management. The action plan foresees the foundation of a ‘Knowledge and Capacity Centre’ by JACKS+ fibre producing countries as a practical approach to support the IGG in addressing the persistent challenges of the JACKS+ sectors that prevent them from becoming competitive on a global scale and engage in emerging global sustainability transitions. A concrete action plan for the first 36 months (three years) is proposed as a pilot period to build the Knowledge and Capacity Centre with the aim to develop it into a centre to support the JACKS+ sectors. -

No results found.World tea output increased in 2022, prompted by rising production in some of the major producing countries. Output of green tea and “other” tea offset declining black tea production caused by a crop shortfall in Sri Lanka (the third largest producer of black tea). Global tea consumption expanded by 2.0 percent in 2022 compared to 2021, underpinned by strong import demand. Over the last decade, world tea intake increased annually by 3.3 percent reflecting strong growth in producing countries that has more than offset declines in traditional importing markets. In 2022, tea shipments from Kenya, China and India increased, while deliveries from Sri Lanka (the second largest exporter of black tea) declined. After increasing by 14.5 percent in 2022, tea prices fell by 9.2 percent in 2023, as availabilities expanded while demand slowed, putting downward pressure on prices. In the medium-term, the black tea market is expected to expand but at a slower pace than the previous decade, while the green tea market is foreseen to grow at a faster rate, reflecting expansion in China’s domestic market. Diversification and value addition are key to boosting the performance of the sector, as consumer behaviour is evolving and growing towards specialty teas and high-quality tea products. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
