Synopsis (short abstract) This series of 13 technical factsheets have been developed by FAO with the support of the Sub-regional Office in the Caribbean and the Plant Production and Protection Division. The content includes technical knowledge on adapted technologies and practices to improve crop management increasing efficiency in the use of limited natural resources such as water and land, nutrients, and labour, as well as promoting local production of high-value and nutritious vegetable crops, generating employment, increasing business opportunities and reducing imports to achieve food security. Factsheets have been designed to provide practical information covering all factors that affect production, including climate, soil, nutrients, water, pest & diseases, and cultural practices for the successful cultivation of vegetable crops. Factsheets also provide knowledge on the key aspects to consider when designing horticulture cultivation systems to achieve optimization, standardization, and adaptation to local conditions in the context of small and medium-scale farmers and to produce horticulture crops with higher quality, food safety, yield, and profits using sustainably natural resources. This publication is aimed to reach a wide audience, including extension services, policymakers, farmers, and the private sector.

    An account of the Commission session held in Beijing, China from 27 to 31 August 2007. Delegates from 18 Commission member countries attended - Australia, Cambodia, China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The meeting reviewed the body's work since the previous Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission and the ove rall plant protection situation at national and regional levels. The Commission discussed and adopted two Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures and for the first time formulated a strategy and business plan which include a position statement, mission statement and five regional directions. Other items of note were acceptance of pest risk analysis for South American Leaf Blight (SALB) for rubber as a basis for the development of a standard on measures for protection from the SALB in the r egion and progress made in information exchange among member countries through the publication of "Country Profiles of Plant Protection from APPPC Members". The latter will greatly assist in formulating better strategies and policies for pest and pesticide management, provide early warning of dangerous trends or gaps in the execution of plant protection functions, promote transparency and harmonization of procedures, and improve regional cooperation and development.
