Horticultural Exports, Instrument of Development?

Abstract: Summary The paper summarizes a decade of experience with problems of export orientated horticulture in developing countries. This sector of the economy is only suitable as an instrument of development if its competitiveness on the international market is guaranteed and maintained. How such efforts are to be assessed as contributions to development policy depends over and above this on how they contribute towards the most important goals of development. Both aspects, which influence the organisational form of e… Show more

“…Fresh produce exporting is initiated through several stimulating factors. The literature on agricultural marketing/trade highlights such factors as the pressing needs of less developed countries to increase their foreign exchange earnings against debts (Lopez et al, 1989), reduce poverty, unemployment and dependence on other nations, raise educational standards (Storck and Hörmann, 1981), and dispose of surplus production (Schermerhorn, 1986). The present research identifies several other factors.…”

“…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.…”
