Mainstreaming gender sensitivity in cash crop market supply chains |
|
| This paper considers the impact of gender specific constraints on the production and marketing of cash crops. Cash crop production differs from general agricultural production in that it entails engaging in output markets to make sales. This in turn requires reliable access to these markets, and has implications on the necessary scale and quality of production. Assessing the nature of female involvement in cash crop (...) |

Building Networks for Market Access |
|
| Agricultural markets in the East Africa region are characterized
by a myriad of constraints, among them being very long chains of
transaction between the farmer and the consumer; poor access to
reliable and timely market information; small volumes of products
of highly varied quality offered by individual smallholder farmers;
and poorly structured and inefficient markets. This has resulted in
wastage of produce and low prices (...) |

Using data from household surveys and differentiating urban from rural areas as well as food buyers from food sellers, the analysis presents preliminary evidence, showing that when the short run effects on consumption are considered, household welfare is expected to (...) |

Market-oriented advisory services in Asia - a review and lessons learned |
|
| Market liberalization and globalization are changing the agricultural environment at unprecedented speed. The urban population in the region is increasing dramatically, accompanied by higher incomes and changing nutritional diets that create greater demand for high-value products. This is juxtaposed by declining public investment in agricultural development, particularly in extension services. The future for many small (...) |

Proceedings of the consultation workshop on market-oriented agricultural extension |
|
| In recent years agricultural marketing has changed dramatically with a global boom in retail food marketing. Consumers are expressing greater concern for food quality and safety, and greater demand for high-value products. The future for many small farmers is bleak unless they can adapt their farming systems to these changes. Many of the constraints they face are related to lack of adequate know-how and skills. (...) |

Why has Africa become a net food importer? - Explaining Africa agricultural and food trade deficits |
|
| ...High-income countries in Africa had high net food
imports per capita, but they did not have problems
paying for their large food imports because they had
ample sources of foreign currencies. [...] Conversely,
low-income countries imported less food per capita,
but their agricultural export revenues, or even
sometimes, their total merchandise export revenues,
could not cover their relatively small food import
bills....

The Outlook for Agriculture and Rural Development in the Americas |

| Since late 2010 and continuing into 2011, price volatility, in relation to basic agricultural
commodities, has occupied centre stage on the agendas of decision makers. An additional
concern has been uncertainty about a new global economic crisis in the wake of the macroeconomic
difficulties experienced in the economies of several European countries and the United
States. In recent months, this situation has been compounded by (...) |
