“…The findings of Neto [17] shows that, if SMEs are willing to invest in latest manufacturing techniques, develop innovative products and increase production capacity; their export performance will give better results. Siringoringo [30] identified that, for long-term success all the SMEs should develop their businesses including information technology features.

“…Further, International Journal of Emerging Markets [36] identified that, inability to proceed documentation, because of cumbersomeness or due to lack of time, constitute a barrier for internationalize domestic businesses.

Among these four critical factors most significant factor was competition. Second most significant factor was support from government and technology; legal requirements were at last. This study will give a big support for Small and Medium sized Enterprise (SME) owners, policy makers, researchers and etc. Policy makers and government should encourage internationalization of SMEs to achieve higher performance and give big contribution to the country.

“…For instance, Morocco exports fresh tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, and pumpkins inter alia, with an upward trend in terms of volume and monetary value [8,9]. However, the major impediment to Kenya's fresh vegetable export potential is compliance with quality and technical requirements, especially due to the presence of pests and chemical residues from synthetic pesticides [7,[10][11][12]. These constraints have led to limited access to the export market for Kenya's fresh vegetables, low export volumes and reduced monetary value during the last nine years [5].…”

Improving Access to Export Market for Fresh Vegetables through Reduction of Phytosanitary and Pesticide Residue Constraints

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The horticultural sector is a key contributor to Kenya’s gross domestic product through the export of fresh-cut flowers, fruits and vegetables to various niche markets. It employs over 350,000 people, while about six million depend on it. However, the sector is constrained by the strict technical and phytosanitary quality requirements set by the export markets. The phytosanitary concerns include the presence of pests and microbial contaminants, while the presence of chemical residues constitute the major technical challenge. These constraints cause the interception and rejection of produce at the export destinations. The fresh produce should be free of quarantine and regulated non-quarantine pests, pest damage, pesticides above the stipulated maximum residue levels (MRLs) and phytosanitary certification. This review discusses the following four-tiered approach to compliance with phytosanitary and pesticide residue requirements: (i) use of alternative pest management approaches, including biocontrol options, cultural and physical practices; (ii) collaboration among regulatory agencies, institutions, producers and regional countries in the enforcement of standards; (iii) investment in research and the adoption of innovative technologies; (iv) awareness creation and training of actors along the fresh vegetable value chain. It is envisaged that this approach will contribute to sustainable fresh vegetable value chains, leading to improved access to export markets, and increased export volumes and income to smallholder farmers and other actors in the fresh vegetable value chain.
