Download or read book Wholesale Market Management written by Bob Densley and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most countries, wholesale markets remain an essential link between production and consumption. That they should be well managed is essential as higher marketing costs lead to lower prices for producers and higher prices charged to consumers. Inefficient markets also increase the risk of problems of hygiene, environmental degradation and transport congestion, among others. With rapid urban growth, wholesale markets will continue to channel a wide variety of produce to urban consumers, despite the development of new distribution techniques, such as direct supply from farmers to supermarkets. This manual analyses the political, legal, economic and commercial aspects of the management and operations of wholesale markets. The European experience in Spain, France, Germany, Britain and Italy is presented; as well as in Japan, Hong Kong, the USA, South Africa, Australia and Argentina.

Download or read book Manual for the Preparation and Sale of Fruits and Vegetables written by Andrés F. López Camelo and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit and vegetable production sector of Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Eastern Europe is facing a new situation where, on the one hand, supermarket chains account for an increasing percentage of the domestic food retail market and, on the other hand, producers must compete in an increasingly demanding global market for non traditional and off-season fruits and vegetables. Small farmers are increasingly being marginalized and will be facing unequal market conditions unless they are able to change their practices to meet the needs of a modern food marketing system. Regardless of the production system, the technological challenge is to increase returns through the rational use of available resources, reducing production costs and post-harvest losses, enhancing competitiveness and adding value to the final product.

Download or read book Addressing Marketing and Processing Constraints that Inhibit Agrifood Exports written by Michael John Westlake and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main objectives of the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) negotiated under the Uruguay Round is to improve the access of developing countries to foreign markets. Constraints in the domestic supply chains of many countries, along with weak marketing support and trade facilitation services, have prevented them, however, from exploiting the opportunities provided by the AoA and by other agreements to improve market access. The aim of this guide is to inform policy analysts on issues that should be considered while developing policies and measures to break the main processing and marketing constraints that prevent their countries from fully exploiting their agrifood export potential.

Download or read book Handling and Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables by Combined Methods for Rural Areas written by Gustavo V. Barbosa-Cánovas and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains information on post-harvest handling and marketing operations and storage of fresh and processed products. Highlights technology which, when combined, has a positive and synergistic effect in preventing biochemical and physicochemical reactions and microbial growth - the main causes of quality losses in fruits and vegetables. Suggested methodologies combine technologies such as mild heat treatment, water activity reduction, lowering of the pH and use of anti-microbial substances to realize the potential of minimally processed, high-moisture fruit products. These relatively new technologies have been successfully applied to several important tropical and non-tropical fruits in different countries of Latin America.
