Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLogistics in the horticulture supply chain in Latin America and the Caribbean
Regional report based on five country assessments and findings from regional workshops
2015Also available in:
No results found.Today, logistics systems and management are considered key for the growth of the perishable food sector, and particularly for those supply chains that involve smallholders. However, there is limited information on the state of logistics systems for food products in most non-industrialized countries. The present report seeks to help fill this gap by providing information on logistics in the produce subsector of five countries in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. The methodology used t o develop the report includes: (i) country appraisals, with fieldwork and desk study; (ii) an expert meeting to discuss findings in the appraisals; (iii) a symposium with experts from the Caribbean subregion; and (iv) subsequent integration of all findings, with background information and an overall analysis. The document describes the general principles used to determine the performance of logistics systems and highlights key limitations of logistics in produce supply chains. Identified challen ges are described, taking into consideration supply chains with involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A subsequent discussion reveals logistics failures and recommends priorities for action depending on the scenario in each country. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
