Opportunities for Developing Countries in the Production and Export of Organic Horticultural Products
2001Since the mid-1990s the market for organic foods has been expanding rapidly and, among these products, organic fruit and vegetables have been growing the fastest. The publication World Markets for Organic Fruit and Vegetables presents the recent findings of a joint FAO/ITC/CTA study on international trade in fresh organic fruit and vegetables. It provides detailed information on demand for these products in the world’s largest organic markets (United States, Japan and European countries), includ ing data on sales and imports. The data was obtained through recent surveys carried out in each country specifically for this publication. In addition to the current market situation, the study analyses the prospects for further growth in sales in the short and medium term. Case studies are provided of seven developing countries that have established an organic export sector or are in the process of doing so. The publication gives recommendations on which product categories are likely to provide market opportunities to developing countries. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Division and distribution of revenue along the European Union (EU) banana commodity chains 2004
Also available in:
No results found.There exists a fairly extensive literature, which suggests that liberalization of the European Union's banana trade is self-evidently desirable, i.e., the consumer and producer welfare gains from liberalization will considerably outweigh any losses. Yet, such analyses do not take into consideration how the total wealth (revenue and surplus) that is created along the various banana commodity chains into EU member-states is divided and distributed among nations. If trade liberalization is to fulfi ll the development objectives of developing countries, then it should result in a more equitable division of wealth. -

Book (series)GuidelineResponsible fish utilization 1998These guidelines have been produced to support the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries particularly with regard to the need for responsibility in the post-harvest sector of the fish producing industry. The industry that produces fish for food has three major areas of responsibility: to the consumer of the food to ensure that it is safe to eat, is of expected quality and nutritional value, to the resource to ensure that it is not wasted and to the envir onment to ensure that negative impacts are minimized. In addition the industry has a responsibility to itself to ensure the continued ability of many millions of people throughout the world to earn a gainful living from working within the industry. Article 11.1 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other related parts of the Code are concerned particularly with these responsibilities. This publication provides annotation to and guidance on these articles to assist those c harged with implementation of the Code to identify possible courses of action necessary to ensure that the industry is conducted in a sustainable manner.
