Also available in:
How did the Asia-Pacific region rescue over 700 million people from extreme poverty between 1980 and 2005? What policy lessons can we learn and implement to improve conditions for the nearly 1 billion people in the region who continue to live in poverty? Examining Asia's recent agricultural reform and trade liberalization experiences, in the context of current global crises, presents an occasion to reflect on past achievements and consider future opportunities. This publication synthesizes the proceedings and presents technical papers from a policy forum convened by FAO and China's Ministry of Agriculture.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalyse de la performance des chaînes de valeurs miel au Bénin 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Face aux problèmes récurrents de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la pauvreté, l’accès au marché à travers des chaînes de valeur pro-pauvres est devenu un axe de politique majeur dans les pays en développement. Au Bénin, l’apiculture, pratiquée sous diverses formes, est une opportunité de diversification et d’amélioration des revenus des populations rurales. Pour capitaliser le potentiel de cette activité, la présente étude a été initiée et porte sur l’analyse des chaînes de valeur du miel au Bénin et la faisabilité de l’apiculture dans d’autres régions du pays, notamment dans les mangroves du site RAMSAR 1017. La méthodologie de travail comporte une recherche documentaire, pour la collecte des données secondaires, ainsi qu’une enquête auprès des acteurs des chaînes de valeur, d’octobre à novembre 2016. La compilation des données et les traitements ont porté principalement sur l’analyse de la consommation du miel, la cartographie des chaînes de valeur, l’analyse de leur performance financière et de leur compétitivité et les structures de gouvernance en leur sein. L’analyse de la consommation du miel montre qu’il existe un potentiel de marché important pour ce produit au Bénin.
