  1. Challenge Program: High Value Crops - Fruits and Vegetables Plugging the income and nutrition gap in food security development

  2. Global Horticulture Assessment 2005

  3. Priorities: 10 most important crops 1. Tomato 8. Potato 2. Mango 9. Papaya 3. Banana 10. Ornamentals 4. Onion 5. Cabbage 6. Citrus 7. Pineapple

  4. 10 most underutilized high potential crops 1. Guava 8. Leafy vegetables 2. Indigenous vegetables 9. Mango 3. Avocado 10. Hot pepper 4. Ornamentals 5. Papaya 6. Tomato 7. Squash

  5. Most important crops across all regions

  6. Underutilized and high potential crops across all regions

  7. Most important crops in sub-Saharan Africa

  8. Underutilized/high potential crops in Sub-Saharan Africa

  9. Constraints to horticulture in Africa

  10. Constraints to horticulture in Asia

  11. Fruits & Vegetables

  12. Sub-Saharan Africa

  13. Top 10 Fruits & Vegetables in SSA – Area Source: FAOSTAT, 2007

  14. South Asia

  15. Top 10 Fruits and Vegetables in South Asia - Area Source: FAOSTAT, 2007

  16. Production of fruit and vegetables Source: FAOSTAT, 2007

  17. Only small productivity increases Increasing area under horticultural production 1990: 75 million ha 2005: 105 million ha Substitution of Staple crops Traditional cash crops Diversification into horticulture

  18. Share of fruit and vegetables in global cropped area Source: FAOSTAT, 2007

  19. Driven by global supply chains Facilitated by trade liberalization Important income source for some countries i.e. Kenya: 13% of GDP Less than 10% of global fruit and vegetable production for export Increasing production for export

  20. Export value of fruit and vegetables Source: FAOSTAT, 2007

  21. Volume and value larger than export markets Continue to be dominated by informal chains (“wet markets”) Sector characterized by very rapid change Supermarket growth More sophisticated, more integrated supply chains Changing procurement system Shorter supply chains Increasing importance of contract farming Domestic supply chains

  22. Total production growth 1990: 816 million MT 2005: 1.4 billion MT Growth in per capita supply Fruit and vegetable: 1.6% Cereals: 0.4% Large regional differences China (world largest producer), India Kenya, Zambia, Senegal, Madagascar Increasing horticultural production

  23. Thank you very much
