DocumentProgress Report of FAO on the International Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators
COP-11. Hyderabad, India
2012Also available in:
No results found.Animal pollinators such as bees affect 35 percent of the world’s crop production, increasing outputs of 87 of the leading food crops worldwide, or 75 percent of all crops. The total economic value of crop pollination worldwide has been estimated at €153 billion annually (Gallai et al. 2009). The leading pollinator-dependent crops are vegetables and fruits, representing about €50 billion each, followed by edible oil crops, stimulants (coffee, cocoa, etc.), nuts and spices; most of these are criti cally important for nutrient security and healthy diets. The global population of managed honey bee hives has increased by 45 percent during the last half century. But with the much more rapid (>300percent) increase in the fraction of agriculture that depends on animal pollination during the last half century, the global capacity to provide sufficient pollination services may be stressed, and more pronouncedly in the developing world than in the developed world (Aizen and Harder 2009). -
