✏The Competitiveness of Tropical Agriculture Book Summary : The Competitiveness of Tropical Agriculture: A Guide to Competitive Potential with Case Studies describes and synthesizes existing methodologies for evaluating competitiveness in agriculture, introduces extensions and refinements, and provides a novel approach based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. As exports of tropical fruit, nuts, and other high-value crops have been growing very rapidly from developing countries, but often encounter serious obstacles in their value chains, this book demonstrates how national agricultural policy is oftentimes not guided by considerations of inherent competitiveness. In addition, the book presents case studies that illustrate the application of these approaches using quantitative frameworks. A concluding chapter introduces policy considerations for competitiveness from work in Jordan, Colombia, Estonia, Peru, and elsewhere, also discussing the role of specific policies in raising competitiveness sustainably and its role in reducing rural poverty. Presents evaluations of 105 agricultural products, including crops, livestock outputs, aquaculture products, and forestry products Explores insights not found in other competitiveness studies, including spatial variation within a country for the same crop, relation to the use of skilled labor, and above all, the role of value chain issues in determining competitiveness Includes analysis of results, such as assessing sector-wide effects on employment and income of policies that help align the sector with its competitive advantage

✏Proceeding of the 1st International Conference on Tropical Agriculture Book Summary : The proceeding of tropical agriculture is a proceeding of papers presented at the International Conference on Tropical Agriculture. Sustainability of agriculture production system is an important issue in the world, which includes all aspects of sustainable criteria, such as technical, socio-economic, and ecological aspects. This book covers sustainable tropical agriculture, sustainable tropical fisheries, sustainable tropical animal production, sustainable tropical forestry, tropical animal health, and Innovative and Emerging Food Technology and Management. The most common, challenging issues in plant, animal and fisheries production in the tropics are climate change, inefficiency production system, low technological innovation, decreasing environment quality, and the outbreak risk of pest and diseases. These issues are closely linked to the socio-economic condition of farmers as small-scale farms are dominant in this area. In addition, post-harvest technology is crucial to maintaining the high quality of products after on farm production. This volume provides the recent research and development on tropical agriculture production systems for plant, terrestrial animal and aquatic animal to establish sustainable agriculture production in the tropics.

✏Annual Analysis of Competitiveness Simulation Studies and Development Perspective for 34 Greater China Economies 2000 2010 Book Summary : China is emerging as one of the economic giants of the world, and is gaining international influence and global leadership that commensurate with its rise. China's performance will have far-reaching consequences on whether the economic awakening of the country, which began more than three decades ago, can become a good model to be emulated by other developing economies. This book is a collection of policy papers and data-sets for the 34 Greater China economies. With a comprehensive approach to competitiveness, the research by Asia Competitiveness Institute (ACI) at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, takes into account different factors that collectively shape the ability of a nation to achieve substantial and inclusive economic development over a sustained period of time. ACI's methodology goes beyond rankings as it conducts policy simulations on how each economy can improve its competitiveness. These policy simulations are a compelling value-added proposition as they enable policymakers, industry leaders and administrators to identify relative challenges and opportunities, and to prioritise areas in crafting public policies and development strategies.

✏ASEAN and the EC Book Summary : If all countries follow a strategy of food self-sufficiency on the one hand an of exporting their surpluses on the other, conflicts will be inevitable. This volume contains five studies of scholars from ASEAN and Europe that address various aspects of trade in tropical agricultural products between ASEAN and the European Community (EC). A comprehensive background picture of the agricultural sector in the ASEAN economies is given, and the EC strategy of giving preferences to the so-called Lome countries of Subsaharan Africa, the Carribean, and the Pacific is described. The negative aspects of the Common Agricultural Policy of the EC are analysed in a simulation model, and in a further contribution the specific impact of the Lome Conventions on the ASEAN countries is studied.

✏Brazilian Development Cooperation in Agriculture Book Summary : This study forms part of a greater project, New South–South Development Trends and African Forest, carried out in Gabon, Mozambique and Cameroon. In Mozambique, the project focused on the Brazilian– Japanese–Mozambican trilateral program ProSavana. At the time the study began, there was little information or previous work on the topic. This paper should therefore be treated as a scoping study. During the course of this scoping study, only a few papers based on field research were published, and the initial findings of this study are largely in line with this research. This paper supplements the existing literature by adding depth from field interviews in Nampula and Zambezia as well as an examination of the draft ProSavana reports, which became available in May 2013. This paper finds large misconceptions about what the ProSavana program is and what agrarian models will be implemented under the program. The ProSavana program team’s inadequacy in effectively communicating the program’s mission, methods and content has led civil society to look to PROCEDER for clues as to how ProSavana will play out in Mozambique. However, the findings from field visits, interviews with a range of stakeholders and a review of ProSavana project documents reported in this paper are that ProSavana will not be a replica of PROCEDER and the strategies proposed do align well with Mozambique’s agrarian strategy, known as PEDSA, and by extension the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). ProSavana must therefore be evaluated on its own merit.
