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."--$cPublisher's website. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAgriculture$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 607 $aTropics$2fast 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aAgriculture 676 $a630 700 $aNorton$b Roger D.$f1942-$0125116 702 $aA?ngel$b Amy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583059803321 996 $aThe competitiveness of tropical agriculture$92286789 997 $aUNINA
