Book (stand-alone)Technical bookAgroforestry for wood production – Insights from multifunctional smallholder tree-farming systems in Asia and the Pacific 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The report highlights the growing importance of smallholder tree-farming systems in meeting the region’s rising wood demand amid declining natural forest production and plateauing industrial plantations. Drawing on regional analysis and nine case studies, it examines how diverse smallholder systems, from woodlots to homegardens, contribute to timber supply, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.The report identifies key barriers to scaling up these systems, including weak policy support, limited access to technologies and finance, and low technical and organizational capacities. It showcases effective strategies and innovations from across the region and proposes seven strategic pathways for policymakers to strengthen enabling environments, empower tree farmers, enhance market access, and integrate wood production into multifunctional land-use systems, positioning smallholders at the forefront of sustainable wood supply in Asia and the Pacific. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyUnderstanding women’s roles and trade potential along regional value chains: An in-depth analysis of the soybean-to-poultry value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania
Making the African Continental Free Trade Area work for women
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report offers an in-depth analysis of women’s roles and trade potential along the soybean-to-poultry value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania, within the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Developed under the FAO–ITC joint programme Empowering Women and Boosting Livelihoods through Agricultural Trade (EWAT), the study highlights both opportunities and challenges facing women engaged in this sector.Drawing on a combination of quantitative trade data and qualitative insights from Tanzanian stakeholders, the report examines production, trade flows, market trends, and the structural features shaping the soybean-to-poultry chain. It emphasizes women’s critical yet often underrecognized participation in farming, processing, and small-scale poultry enterprises, while identifying key barriers such as limited access to finance, technical skills, and fair market conditions.The study situates the United Republic of Tanzania’s position within regional and global value chains, revealing how strategic investments and stronger linkages to regional trade could unlock new opportunities for women entrepreneurs. It underscores that for women to meaningfully benefit from the AfCFTA, targeted policy measures and institutional support are essential.The report concludes with actionable recommendations aimed at strengthening women’s economic empowerment, including improved access to inputs and markets, gender-responsive infrastructure, supportive business environments, and enhanced participation in decision-making. By promoting inclusive and sustainable trade-led growth, the AfCFTA holds the potential to transform the United Republic of Tanzania’s soybean-to-poultry sector into a driver of prosperity for women and communities alike.

DocumentOther documentPartie 1, chapitre 2. L’agriculture en Afrique subsaharienne : Perspectives et enjeux de la décennie à venir 2016
Also available in:
Le présent chapitre porte sur l’agriculture en Afrique subsaharienne en s’attachant plus particulièrement aux perspectives et enjeux pour la décennie à venir. Il examine la performance du secteur, décrit le contexte dans lequel opèrent actuellement les marchés, présente des projections quantitatives détaillées à moyen terme pour la décennie 2016-25, et évalue les principaux risques et incertitudes. Les perspectives de l’agriculture en Afrique subsaharienne s’inscrivent dans un contexte dominé pa r plusieurs mégatendances qui façonnent le développement du secteur. Parmi elles, on peut citer la croissance démographique rapide, l’urbanisation et la diversification rurale, qui vont de pair avec une transformation structurelle propice à l’emploi non agricole au détriment de l’emploi agricole, la montée en puissance de la classe moyenne et l’intérêt croissant (au niveau local et mondial) pour les terres agricoles du continent. Les perspectives de l’agriculture sont globalement positives, mais pourraient être encore améliorées grâce à une action systématique des pouvoirs publics et des investissements stratégiques, en particulier dans les infrastructures rurales.Lire le Résumé du rapport.
