Pages : 216
Book Description
This bulletin, based on contributions from various contributors and edited by Dr. D.W. Roubik, introduces the reader to various aspects of natural and insect pollination. It discusses the pollinators themselves, and the ecological and economic importance of pollination, as well as applied pollination in temperate, tropical oceanic islands and mainland tropics, and alternatives to artificial pollinator populations. Prospects for the future are also discussed. Chapter 2 deals with successful pollination with pollinator populations, the evaluation of pollinators and floral biology and research techniques. The behaviour of pollinators and plant phenology and various case studies on the preparation of pollinators for use in tropical agriculture are also discussed. A glossary and various appendices regarding cultivated and semi-cultivated plants in the tropics, pollination contracts and levels of safety of pesticides for bees and other pollinators are included.
Wholesale Markets

Wholesale marketing systems for fruit, vegetables and other fresh foodstuffs, such as livestock and fish, are often inadequate. They neither maximize benefits to producers, nor to consumers. This manual has been compiled to provide a systematic methodology based on the sequence of steps normally adopted in the development process. The manual should be of practical value, both to senior professionals and to technicians, in undertaking marketing and engineering surveys, in the preparation of feasibility studies and master plans, and in formulating proposals for the provision of physical facilities.

Wholesale Market Management
Author: Bob DensleyPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251043622
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
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.
