Synopsis (short abstract) Understanding woodfuel flows, encompassing its supply, distribution and use, has major policy implications. Cebu City was the venue for a wood energy policy workshop organised by the University of San Carlos Affiliated Non-Conventional Energy Center. The participants represented a broad spectrum of delegates from the energy, forestry, agriculture and environment sectors, as well as politicians, scholars, and observers from neighbouring countries. The workshop comprehensively covered wood en ergy planning, policies and strategies. The discussions lead to substantial recommendations for wood energy development which build on the increasing knowledge and understanding gained over the years. The present report gives an account of this workshop.

    The end of the second phase of RWEDP was considered to be an opportune time to reflect on the progress made in our understanding of wood energy issues in RWEDP's member countries and on possible issues to be addressed in a follow-up project. Thus, from 22 February to 3 March 1993, two consecutive regional meetings were conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The first one, aimed at planners from RWEDP member countries, was an "Expert Consultation on Data Analysis and Assessment for Wood Energy P lanning" while the second one, aimed at policy makers, was a "Seminar on Policy Instruments for the Implementation of Wood Energy Development Programmes". 36 participants came from the member countries to the two meetings, and a total of 29 papers by 23 resource persons were presented.

    The report describes the organization and the results of the national workshop organized by the Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The workshop brought various issues to the attention of national policy makers and planners, e.g. the importance of small-scale industries to the local economy by providing employment and using local raw materials. Emphasis was also placed on the problems these small scale industries are facing e.g. using outdated processing technologies, limi ted skills both at the management and employee level, lack of access to suitable financing, etc. Abstracts of the nineteen papers presented during the workshop are presented in the report. These deal with various issues including rural development in relation to small scale industries, the status of various rural based small scale industries like brick making, gur (sugar) making, silk/sericulture, yarn twisting and dyeing, bakeries, potteries, ceramics, rice-parboiling, herbal medicines, et c. Extensive discussions were held on the production and supply strategies for fuelwood and on policies for the sustainable supply of biomass fuels) including agro-residues. These discussions resulted in the drawing up of a comprehensive set of conclusions and recommendations. The latter focus mainly on the need to improve the understanding of national policy makers of the importance of the rural based industries in the national economy and the need to provide adequate support to this important sector.

    Formulation des aliments destines a l'elevage de Tilapia nilotica (L.) en cages dans le lac de Kossou, Cote d'Ivoire
    Developpement de la Peche du Lac de Kossou, Cote d'Ivoire

    Ce rapport présente les résultats obtenus dans le lac de Kossou, côte d'Ivoire, avec quatre formules alimentaires adaptées à l'élevage en cage de T. nilotica. La composition de l'aliment de base est la suivante : Farine de riz : 65 % ; tourteaux d'arachide : 18% remoulage de blé : 12 % ; farine de poissons : 4 % ; et coquillages : 1 % . Le taux de conversion moyen obtenu est de 2,32 kg d' aliment/kg de poissons produits. Celui-ci indique que le T. nilotica économise les besoins en protéine par une haute teneur d'énergie dans l'aliment. L'addition d'un complexe de vitamines à cette dernière formule n'est pas necessaire. Il semble qu'il y a suffisamment de ces éléments nutritifs présents dans l'aliment de base et le milieu de la cage. L' augmentation du pourcentage de farine de poissons à 8 % a légèrement amélioré le taux de conversion (2,19). La subtitution du tourteau d'arachide par le tourteau de coton a beaucoup diminué le prix de l'aliment sans avoir un effet sur l'élevage. Les périodes de circulation totale des eaux du lac ont entrainé une mauvaise influence sur les résultats. La basse teneur en oxygène dissous, l'augmentation du taux de respiration subsequent et le manque de plusieurs jours d'alimentation a diminué le rendement de quelques essais (formule vitaminique). Il est conclu que la teneur en protéine brute devrait être augmentée de 25 à 30 % pour rendre l'élevage plus efficace. Du point de vue économique, cette protéine est de sources végétales (tourt eaux de coton) mais un certain pourcentage doit venir de sources animales (farine de poissons). Le reste de l'aliment peut se composer d'hydrates de carbone comme source d'énergie. Du point de vue économique, les frais de l'alimentation avec les granulés complets revient à environ 100 F CFA/kg de poissons produits, par rapport à un prix de vente actuel de plus de 200 F CFA/kg de tilapia, nous pouvons dire que cette alimentation est rentable.

    全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
