Trends in Production and Export of Lentils in EthiopiaPremier Publishers
Lentils are among the major grain crops in Ethiopia that constituted the major food crops for the majority of the country’s population. It also served as a source of income at household level and a contributor for the country’s foreign currency earnings. The study was conducted to analyze the trend of production and export of Lentils in Ethiopia. Secondary data on production and export of the crop were used and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study identified that, the total land area and the total volume of lentil production has increased at a compound growth rate of 4% and 9% respectively, while the productivity of the crop has shown a 5%compounded growth. Ethiopia exports on average 2,339,693 kg of lentils and incurred birr 18,684,845. Pakistan and United Arab Emirates are the highest recipients for Ethiopian lentils with a share of 20 % and 16 % respectively. Italy was the destination country from which highest value/kg (birr 25/kg) from Lentils export is received. Therefore, it is important to give more attention to the crop in research system so as to have more improved varieties and agronomic recommendations. On the other hand, we need to export the crop and its product to those countries which have high Value to volume ratio (VVR).

Agriculture, Livestock, Fishery and Food Industry in Turkey FMC Group
This document provides an overview of the agriculture, livestock, fishery and food industries in Turkey. It summarizes key facts and figures on production, trade, growth and major companies. Turkey has suitable conditions for agriculture and is a leading global producer of many crops. The agriculture, livestock and fishery industries have grown in recent years, though Turkey remains a net importer. The food and beverage industry is an important sector, accounting for 19% of GDP. It has attracted significant foreign investment and Turkey exports more food than it imports. Major state-owned and private companies operate across various food subsectors.
This document discusses integrating vegetables into staple crop production systems in Ethiopia. It finds that vegetables are important for income, nutrition, and farm sustainability in Ethiopia. While most vegetables are grown in pure stands commercially, smallholders often intercrop vegetables with field crops. There is potential to further integrate vegetables due to their short growing cycles and higher yields/prices compared to staple crops. However, the vegetable value chain faces challenges like limited seed access, post-harvest losses, and weak market support systems. Strengthening vegetable seed systems, building research capacity, and coordinating public-private partnerships could help develop the sub-sector and provide diversification options for smallholders.

Demese Chnayalew,
Abstract
The crop development policies and strategies of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia focus on three major categories: food, industrial, and export crops. Among the food crops, potatoes and sweetpotatoes are valuable for food and nutrition security at household level, providing highly nutritious quality protein, vitamins, and micronutrients. Recently, potato has come to be viewed as an alternative crop for climate change adaptation, too. Despite this, the crop development policies and strategies are biased towards grain. This bias, along with related policies and strategies, has partly contributed to the low levels of cultivated area and production of root and tubers in general and potato and sweetpotato in particular. Within an agricultural research and development environment dominated by grain development policies and strategies, however, research and extension institutions never quit generating, developing, multiplying, and distributing improved potato and sweetpotato technologies, including varieties and agronomic practices. This paper assesses the technology generation and adoption in different parts of the country; it analyses existing policies, strategies, and institutional arrangements. Information generated through documentation review and discussions with selected and targeted key informants provided adoption levels of improved potato and sweetpotato varieties, and helps to explain existing constraints and plausible solutions for increased productivity and production. Comparative analysis is also made with other developing countries, specifically those in the East Africa region as a whole
This document provides information on India's agricultural sector, with a focus on crops with export potential. It discusses:
- Agriculture's importance to India's economy and employment.
- India's diverse climate and soil types allow for varied crop production.
- Mango is India's most important fruit, with India the world's largest mango producer. However, India lags in agricultural productivity and export competitiveness compared to other countries.
- The study profiles 16 crops including various fruits, vegetables, spices and commercial crops to understand their export potential based on production, demand, and market requirements. It aims to build industry capacity and establish an online database to promote Indian agricultural exports.

This document discusses opportunities and challenges for developing Pakistan's horticulture sector. It notes that horticulture has significant potential due to climate and water resources but faces issues including low productivity, losses, and lack of investment. The document recommends a comprehensive policy framework to increase productivity, profitability, quality, and sustainability in order to accelerate economic growth, reduce poverty, and ensure food security. Key strategies include expanding area under cultivation through new lands, degraded lands, intercropping, and urban farming as well as increasing yields.
Ethiopia has favorable conditions for investing in floriculture including vast land, suitable climate, water resources, and proximity to major export markets in Europe and the Middle East. Currently Ethiopia produces roses, gypsophila, hypericum, limonium, carnations and chrysanthemums. The Ethiopian government has introduced several incentives to attract investment in the floriculture sector, including tax holidays and duty-free import of machinery. Ethiopia's flower exports are growing rapidly and have the potential to surpass coffee as the country's main export commodity. The country has competitive advantages for floriculture production and export including low labor costs, year-round suitable growing conditions, and strong government support for the industry.
This document discusses India's current agricultural exports scenario and potential areas for growth. It notes that while India is a major global producer of many crops, its share of world agricultural exports is still low at around 1%. Key opportunities for increasing exports include products like marine foods, rice, wheat, spices, fruits and vegetables. The document also outlines challenges such as low levels of mechanization and infrastructure that have hindered exports. It argues for targeted interventions like investments in technology and supply chain improvements to boost agricultural exports and rural incomes.
Coca-Cola plans to lead the citrus juice industry in planting new citrus groves, as citrus disease and lack of replanting threatens future supply. Ian McLaughlin of Coca-Cola said greening disease in Florida is the greatest threat. While high juice prices have not stimulated replanting, Coca-Cola intends to invest in prevention and encourage replanting. Coca-Cola has doubled its fruit juice market share since 2000 through a growth strategy of organizing brands into key platforms and expanding from powders and concentrates to premium chilled juices and smoothies.
The document summarizes a decline in processing tomato output from major EU producers in 2011. Preliminary results show the total output for the five main EU producers (France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) declined by about 1 million tonnes to 8.531 million tonnes. Greece saw the steepest decline of 48% to 330,000 tonnes. Portugal's output also declined significantly by 17% to 1.06 million tonnes due to bad weather during the season. With depressed market prices, negotiations over raw material prices for 2012 are expected to be difficult as growers will demand higher prices to cover costs.
