La horticultura intensiva marroquí
- Aznar Sánchez, José Angel
En los próximos años la horticultura intensiva marroquí puede ver incrementadas sus posibilidades de desarrollo ante la creación de un Área de Libre Cambio entre Marruecos y la UE. En el presente trabajo se analiza el devenir de este sector y sus perspectivas. En primer lugar, se exponen las distintas etapas de su conformación. Posteriormente, se analiza la evolución seguida por la superficie, producción y exportación hortícola temprana en las dos últimas décadas del siglo XX. Y finalmente, se apuntan una serie de deficiencias que pueden condicionar su expansión futura.

10 ALLEVIATING MALNUTRITION THROUGH HORTICULTURE
- S. M. Monowar Hossain
Horticulture is an important subsector of agriculture. The potential of horticultural crops has not yet been fully explored or exploited in Bangladesh. More than 90 vegetables and 60 fruits are grown in Bangladesh, with great regional variation in the extent of cultivation. The cultivated area given to fruits and vegetables is 0.52 million hectares, covering 3.7 percent of total cropped area. Vegetable production provides only about one-fifth of the recommended daily intake of 200 g per person. Likewise, present fruit production provides only 34 g toward the daily requirement of 75 g per person.

Production and Productivity Effects of Informal Contract Farming in Kenya's Smallholder Horticultural Sub-sector
- Obare, GA; Dept of Agricultural Economics & Business Management, Egerton University, P.O. BOX 536 Njoro, Kenya;; Kariuki, IM; Dept of Agricultural Economics & Business Management, Egerton University, P.O. BOX 536 Njoro, Kenya;
This paper uses data from a 2001 household survey of small-scale farming households in Kirinyaga District, Kenya to explore production effects of informal credit contracts in French bean farming where formal markets for surplus production are seemingly shallow and imperfect. Specifically, it examines whether informal arrangements spur productivity and intensity of inputs use. A three stage least square (3SLS) modelling strategy is used to quantify the direct and indirect effects of contracts on French bean output conditional upon infrastructure, institutional and farmer-specific socio-economic factors. The results show that fertilizer, pesticides and High Yielding Variety seeds use, and French bean output...

CHANGES OF THE EU POLICIES IN HORTICULTURE
- Alvisi, Franco; Bagnara, Gian Luca
The EU policy in horticulture has switched its aim from price support to integration of farmers' income. Regulation 2200/96 established the new European Market Regulation (CMO) in horticulture. On this base the producers' organizations (PO) are no longer a political institution but a real economic organization with the objectives of planning and concentrating the production. At the same time, the UE has promulgated another plan (Decision n.2796 of 10/10/96 applying the objectives of the Reg. 2081/93), which is specific for Italian regions in "Objective 1" namely with low average income. This issue establishes the commercial macro organizations with the target...

Ptychosperma macarthurii: discovery, horticulture and taxonomy
- Dowe, John Leslie
Ptychosperma macarthurii is one of the world’s most popular ornamental palms, proving adaptable to a broad range of climatic and cultural conditions. Contrary to this apparent adaptability, the species is relatively uncommon in its native habitats in southern New Guinea and northern Australia, and otherwise occupies a narrow ecological niche. There are some noticeable differences between wild growing plants and those now in cultivation under this name, a situation often attributed to hybridization with other Ptychosperma species. This paper presents an account of the species’ discovery in 1875 during William Macleay’s Chevert Expedition to New Guinea, subsequent introduction to horticulture...

Strengthening Backward and Forward Linkages in Horticulture: Some Successful Initiatives
- Mittal, Surabhi
Indian horticulture sector is constrained by low productivity, high cost of production, huge post-harvest losses, inefficient supply chain and poor market intelligence. The present paper has brought forward two case studies of SAFAL Market and Namdhari Fresh which have been successful in over-coming the constraints that horticulture sector is facing in India for fresh fruits and vegetables. Some new marketing initiatives along with the existing supply chain inefficiencies have been highlighted to help formulate strategy and policy to achieve the much-desired second green revolution through horticulture growth.

Can Horticulture be a Success Story for India?
- Surabhi Mittal
India is the second largest producer of the fruits and vegetables in the world after China. Since the 1980s the international trade in fruits and vegetables has expanded rapidly. The number of commodities as well as the number of varieties produced and traded have drastically increased during the past 25 years. There is an overall increase in the demand of fruits and vegetables for consumption both in fresh and the processed form. Also there is a wide diversification in production pattern globally. Income in this sector is increasing which is driving the supply. In spite of being one of the...

Estudio de caso del poniente almeriense: globalización de la horticultura
- Jiménez Díaz, José Francisco
Forty years ago the west of Almeria formed a large field surrounded by few and spread houses. Currently this county is one of the most dynamic areas of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The main sector that has sustained and maintained the prosperity of this area has been the intensive horticulture greenhouse. The agricultural actors and the network of companies and institutions created around the first (agricultural commercial enterprises, warehouse and different factories), have contributed to the development of what is called here the glocal political-economic dimension. This has led to intense changes in the analyzed territorial area, which serves as...
