Mientras muchos países en desarrollo llevan a cabo esfuerzos por desarrollar ventajas competitivas que les permitan asegurar su participación en el mercado global de las frutas y hortalizas; recientes desarrollos relacionados con estrictos requisitos en materia de la calidad e inocuidad, en los mercados importadores, implican nuevos retos para los países, en cuanto a realizar ajustes en los procesos de producción, comercialización y en los sistemas de control, que les permita dar cumplimiento a dichos requisitos, e incluso anticiparse a los mismos. -
BookletGuidelineDirectrices generales para facilitar la apertura de mercados internacionales de frutas y hortalizas hospedantes de moscas de la fruta con base en las Normas Internacionales de Medidas Fitosanitarias 2023
Also available in:
Directrices Generales para Facilitar la Apertura de Mercados Internacionales de Frutas y Hortalizas. El objetivo de este documento es profundizar en el uso de las normas internacionales para facilitar el comercio internacional de frutas y hortalizas frescas. Conocido es que muchos de estos productos son hospedantes de moscas de la fruta. Para esto se considera el marco regulatorio definido por la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC) en el Acuerdo sobre las Aplicaciónes de Medidas Sanitarios y Fitosanitarias (Acuerdo MSF) y la Convención Internacional de Protección Fitosanitaria (CIPF) con sus Normas Internacionales asociadas a las Medidas Fitosanitarias (NIMF). Se identifican los aspectos clave de este marco y se explican con énfasis en la comprensión de su significado y la relación con la apertura de nuevos mercados y la expansión de los mercados existentes. Estas directrices se han elaborado con la idea de una mejor comprensión de los factores que deben tenerse en cuenta al establecer un comercio y cómo maximizar el uso de las normas internacionales para facilitar un comercio seguro.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
