Increasing production for export

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

Domestic supply chains

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



22 /

Increasing horticultural production

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
