No results found.Agriculture plays a fundamental role in the economic development of the Anhui province of China A strategic agricultural sector for economic growth is e commerce In recent years, China has placed significant emphasis on the development of this area in order to allow for agricultural products to be sold directly online In fact, the Anhui province released the Action Plan on Improving Rural E commerce in 2018 with the aim of encouraging e commerce platforms, cooperatives, production bases, enterprises and farmers to form improved connections with each other, building synergies for value addition and a more inclusive food value chain That said, a few challenges persist, such as linking value chains together in a desirable manner, and building targeted connections between a certain group of small scale farmers and consumers Additionally, poor smallholder farmers on the supply side of the value chain do not have standard production technology to produce agricultural products that can meet commercial demands for quality, and they lack both the knowledge and skills required for accessing e commerce platforms On the demand side, consumers are increasingly concerned with the quality and safety of agricultural produce. -

Book (stand-alone)Overview of rural poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean
Solutions for eliminating rural poverty in the 21st century
2019Also available in:
Panorama of Rural Poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), addresses the important challenges faced by the region in developing its rural territories to achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, particularly SDG 1 to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. After many years of progress, poverty and extreme rural poverty in the region have started to increase again. This is worrying news for countries of the region and the international community because, if they do not return to the path of rural poverty reduction, millions of people will be excluded from the opportunity to contribute to the development of their families, communities and countries. The 33 Member States of the United Nations in the region have pledged their commitment to eradicating rural poverty by 2030 and, despite the recent trend, it is still possible to achieve this goal. This report also highlights the persistence of significant gaps between rural and urban areas, which is incompatible with sustainable and equitable development. Of the 169 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, 132 require actions that must be carried out in rural territories.
