Book (stand-alone)Rural transport of food products in Latin America and the Caribbean 2004
Also available in:
Transportation is fundamental for the development of human activities, especially production and trade-related activities, including the production and trade of agricultural products. The swiftness and cleanliness of transport have a direct impact on food availability, given the special nature of food of agricultural origin, which is always to some extent perishable. Sanitation, food safety and the economy in general all come into play here, especially the cost structure of the supply chains and the final price of food products. This document presents case studies drawn from 17 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Duly adjusted and adapted, they may also be useful for an interpretation of transportation problems in other parts of the world. The study covers the region of Central America and Panama (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama), the Expanded MERCOSUR countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and U ruguay), and the Andean Pact countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela). One country from each of these three regions is also reviewed in detail.
