This document summarizes a study on changing patterns of pulses trade. It finds that imports of peas have significantly increased, leapfrogging other pulses to become the largest imported commodity. There has been a congruent change between domestic production and imports. The import portfolio has become more dynamic over time in terms of variety and partners. While import penetration of pulses is still lower than edible oils, pulses imports can play an important role in cooling domestic pulse markets. The study utilizes detailed customs data to analyze pulses trade at a granular level. It finds that Canada and Myanmar are major trading partners and exporters of different pulses to India. There is potential to become a net exporter of value-added pulses like chickpeas, based on

This document discusses Vietnam's billion dollar cassava export industry and its importance for smallholder farmers. It notes that Vietnam has exported $1-1.35 billion annually in cassava starch and dried chips for the past 6 years. Cassava production has rapidly increased across Vietnam in different agroecological zones, driven by expanding domestic and global demand. However, Vietnam's dependence on China as an export market makes its farmers vulnerable to volatility in Chinese agricultural policies and commodity prices.
- India accounts for around 35% of the world's area and 27% of production dedicated to pulses. The major pulses grown are pigeon pea, chickpea, and lentils.
- Pulses production in India was around 19.5 million tons in 2013-14, its highest level. However, production in 2014-15 is estimated to be slightly lower at 18 million tons.
- While the average yield of pulses in India has increased by around 15% since 2009-2010, it remains below the world average of 910 kg/hectare. The area under pulses cultivation has also increased from 23 million hectares in 2009 to 27 million hectares in 2013.
The document discusses livestock projections for Kenya between 2000-2030. It provides demographic information that in 2009, Kenya had a population of 38.6 million people with 68% living in rural areas. The document then examines projections for beef, milk, mutton, pork, poultry, and egg production in Kenya. It projects that demand for these livestock products will increase substantially by 2030, with urban areas seeing faster growth rates than rural areas.

CIAT's cassava program in Asia has the mission of creating a sustainable cassava production system through agricultural innovations. The program's objectives include aggressively introducing germplasm for screening, developing high-yielding disease resistant varieties, establishing pest and disease surveillance, and developing robust seed systems. The program consists of interlinked projects in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia focusing on production, marketing, value chains, and policy recommendations to improve rural livelihoods. Cassava is a key crop in Asia traded widely within the region and competing globally as a source of carbohydrates.
This document discusses the challenges facing agriculture due to increasing global population and climate change. It notes that crop yields have plateaued and climate change will further reduce yields. Two options to address this are discussed: 1) genetic engineering/smart breeding of environmentally friendly genes or 2) revisiting agricultural strategies. For the second option, the document analyzes Pakistan's agricultural resources and potential, and notes climate change could lower production by over 25% without new varieties. It argues for strategic planning, developing climate-friendly crops, prioritizing food for people over animals, conserving genetic diversity, and supporting small farmers' traditional practices to help crops withstand climate change.
This document summarizes the key topics and findings from the book "Agricultural Transformation in Nepal: Trends, Prospects and Policy Options". It discusses Nepal's agricultural sector challenges including lower and fluctuating growth, declining productivity, and rising imports. However, it also notes prospects like shifting diets driving demand, commercialization, and emerging value chains. The way forward involves ensuring food security through technology adoption, increasing public and private investment, promoting diversification, and developing domestic and regional value chains. Strengthening infrastructure, quality standards, contract farming and trade opportunities can help realize the agriculture sector's potential.
The future of Ethiopia's agriculture: Drivers and Scenariosessp2
The document summarizes research on the past and future of Ethiopia's agriculture sector. Key points include:
- Agricultural land expansion is slowing as yields increase, driven by investments, technology, and market access.
- Farm sizes are declining as younger farmers have less land. Population growth and urbanization are transforming food systems.
- Future scenarios show that targeted investments can boost growth and poverty reduction, but returns diminish if supply outpaces demand. Structural changes also affect agriculture's role in the economy over time.

An international conference jointly organized by ReSAKSS-Asia, IFPRI, TDRI, and TVSEP project of Leibniz Universit Hannover with support from USAID and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) at the Dusit Thani Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand December 12–14, 2017.
Thailand has an ambitious plan to be the “kitchen of the world” and thereby secure its future as one of the most important food exporters globally. The country has a market leading position in areas such as rice and sugar cane.
In this Research Note from Ipsos Business Consulting, we examine the development of the industry in Thailand and consider the relevance of poultry to the “kitchen of the world” policy.
Australian chickpea exports have increased over the past decade. India is the largest destination country, receiving around 85% of total exports in 2014-15. Exports to other major markets like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the UAE have also grown. The majority of chickpeas are shipped from ports in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne to be consumed in the Indian subcontinent and Middle East. Export volumes and values set new records in recent years, demonstrating the increasing global demand for Australian chickpeas.
Three projects were discussed under the Chickpea Research Initiative. Two projects will not be completed by the end of 2014 - evaluation of pre-breeding populations and MAGIC lines. Activities that will not be finished include phenotyping selected MAGIC lines for drought tolerance. The plan is to continue activities through ongoing breeding programs and future funding from sources like the Tropical Legumes Project phase III or CGIAR Grain Legumes program. A review was provided of existing and planned germplasm and genomic resources developed through the initiative.

The document outlines the new product development process, which includes idea generation, screening, concept testing, market strategy development, business analysis, test marketing, and commercialization. The goal is to develop, test, and evaluate new product ideas to ensure growth and survival. Key steps involve assessing opportunities, determining the product type, developing the concept, evaluating market potential and profitability, testing the product and marketing plan, and commercializing the new product. Following this process helps reduce risks and avoid costly mistakes when bringing new products to market.
World population has increased 133% since 1960 while food production has increased 237% due to factors like rural to urban migration, improved life expectancy, and rising incomes. However, inefficiencies remain in the supply chain between producers and consumers. China is now the largest meat producer in the world while the US and Brazil have grains to feed their animals. Brazil accounts for 11% of global meat production with less than 3% of the world's population. Growth in Brazilian agricultural production will come from converting degraded pastures, intensifying livestock production, and using new technologies. This will help meet rising demand from China's social inclusion plan to lift 440 million people out of poverty by 2022.

Crop rotation is important for profitability, productivity and resilience. Diverse crop rotations that include cereals provide several benefits: they increase long-term soil productivity and health by improving soil structure and fertility; enhance resilience to stress years; and reduce pest pressure. Cereals provide good options for early planting and leave residual nitrogen that lowers fertilizer needs for subsequent crops. Winter wheat in particular has been shown to increase soybean and corn yields in subsequent years. While diverse rotations require more management, they can improve overall farm income and stability through higher, more consistent yields over time.
This document summarizes a presentation on agricultural remote sensing. It discusses how satellite and aircraft imagery can provide spatially complete information on large or inaccessible regions. Such imagery can support activities like land management, biomass estimation and monitoring. The document highlights several current remote sensing activities by AAFC, including near-real-time soil moisture and crop condition mapping using satellite data. It also discusses how remote sensing combined with ground data can help assess crop rotations and nitrogen needs. Overall, the document promotes the use of remote sensing to make better agricultural management decisions.
