Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade is an essential driver for sustained economic growth, and growth is necessary for poverty reduction. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where three-fourths of the poor live in rural areas, spurring growth and generating income and employment opportunities is critical for poverty reduction strategies. Seventy percent of the population lives in rural areas, where livelihoods are largely dependent on the production and export of raw agricultural commodities such as coffee, cocoa, and cotton, whose prices in real terms have been steadily declining over the past decades. The deterioration in the terms of trade resulted for Africa in a steady contraction of its share in global trade over the past 50 years. Diversification of agriculture into higher-value, non-traditional exports is seen today as a priority for most of these countries. Some African countries in particular, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Zimbabwe have managed to diversify their agricultural sector into non-traditional, high-value-added products such as cut flowers and plants, fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. To learn from these experiences and better assist other African countries in designing and implementing effective agricultural growth and diversification strategies, the World Bank has launched a comprehensive set of studies under the broad theme of 'Agricultural Trade Facilitation and Non-Traditional Agricultural Export Development in Sub-Saharan Africa'. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the current structure and dynamics of the European import market for flowers and fresh horticulture products. It aims to help client countries, industry stakeholders, and development partners to get a better understanding of these markets, and to assess the prospects and opportunities they offer for Sub-Saharan African exporters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southward enlargement of the European Community (EC) is causing considerable concern among agricultural policymakers inside and outside the EC and especially within the fruit and vegetable subsector. This is due to the entry of Greece, Portugal and Spain into the EC and the expected stimulation of their fruit and vegetable production and a resulting decline of horticultural prices on international markets. The new member states may expand their market shares at the expense of other countries, mainly those in the Mediterranean basin. This study attempts to quantify the prospective effects of EC enlargement, with special emphasis on the diversity and seasonality of fruits and vegetables. The results should reduce uncertainty among suppliers about long-term price expectations for Mediterranean products. The study is also intended to assist policymakers inside and outside the EC in planning future production strategies and policies and to help provide a source of unbiased economic information for the trade negotiations that will follow the southward expansion of the EC.

Significant expansion of EU in 2004 has influenced on present members of European Community and has caused the adjustment process in all countries. What has resulted from this expansion, is an opening the European market and growth of competitiveness, also on the horticulture market. Financial resources from Common Agricultural Policy have become one of the important cause of structural changes in Polish agricultural and horticulture market. Efficient use of financial resources from the EU helped Poland to improve market organization. The number of farms, conducting agricultural activities in Poland, is significant against an UE background. However, this amount, since our joining to the Community, is diminishing. This process is profitable for Polish competitiveness. The economic strength of agriculture and horticulture sector is strongly limited with size and conditions of farms. There is still considerable share of small farms in Poland, which hinder this sector from development. Thanks to transformations Polish farmers are able to offer their products according to the international market demands. The advantage of the Polish countryside is relatively young age of citizens. During our attendance among European Community, Polish vegetable production most of varieties have diminished, however the efficiency has significantly increased. Polish fruit production is gaining, mostly thanks to the apples and raspberries production. There is still a long way ahead polish horticulture to conduct needed transformations.

Global Agricultural and Food Marketing in a Global Context: Advancing Policy, Management, and Innovation discusses key aspects of the agricultural marketing context including the policy environment, the available local markets and how they operate, the conditions and requirements for international trade, the logistic system operations, and the technology developments in marketing. Covering topics such as produce, food production, and digital marketing, this reference work is ideal for farmers, government officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, educators, and students.

This insightful book introduces readers to the common factors influencing European food marketing today including the stagnating volume of food demand, severe competition between suppliers of agricultural and food products, the overall shift in agricultural marketing towards more market-consumer orientation, and the resulting concern about product development, branding, and customer relationships. Major national differences in food and agricultural marketing in each country are also analyzed, in particular, the problems of implementing European Community legislation in the face of tremendous divergences among member countries in their needs, expectations, and priorities. Some of the other important topics covered in this in-depth book include: European food consumption and consumers food retailing in Europe the impact of the Common Agricultural policy and other government policies on agricultural marketing the conduct of agricultural marketing institutions and agribusinesses and their marketing performances agricultural and food marketing channels in European countries Food and Agribusiness Marketing in Europe is the first resource available that provides essential information on the tremendous changes in food and agricultural marketing in Europe. It is an invaluable reference on European marketing for students and teachers of agricultural marketing, European-oriented agribusiness managers, and internationally oriented agriculture policymakers who need to develop an understanding of food marketing developments in this area of the world.
