“…On the fresh produce-exporting front, however, determining factors are viewed by researchers in a macro perspective which puts less emphasis on the firm's management. In an export-oriented horticultural system, for example, four determinants are cited (Storck and Hörmann, 1981); these are "available resources (environmental conditions, labour, capital and technological knowhow), external constraints (economic and agricultural policies), important single functions (production, sorting, packing, transportation, and export marketing), and co-ordination and information". In another research covering 31 exporting countries that accounted for 90 per cent of the horticultural exports of developing countries, Islam (1990) informs us that infrastructure, size of domestic market, shipping facilities, per capita income in the exporting country, and the share of manufactured exports in total exports are significant factors having a positive effect on exporting.…”
