“…The reference market for these subsectors is quite diversified as well. The floriculture industry is mainly pointed toward domestic consumption since its products are especially purchased for expression of love or friendship, thankfulness or appreciation, aesthetical purposes, gifts for events [2]. Nursery stock is oriented toward landscaping and lawn services, turning to designers, garden centres, gardeners, and maintenance firms among others [3].…”

“…Worldwide the main markets are Europe, the USA, and Japan [2], and, among EU countries, Germany is the most important market for the ornamental sector, considering a volume of around 8.9 billion euros in terms of retail prices [4]. On the other hand, the both the environment, soil/growing media, and eco-physiological parameters allows the implementation of a predictive and real-time decision support system (DSS), improving the efficient use of resources, such as water and nutrients, and directly controlling plant growth, health, and yield [10].…”

Ornamental plant production constitutes an important sector of the horticultural industry worldwide and fungal infections, that dramatically affect the aesthetic quality of plants, can cause serious economic and crop losses. The need to reduce the use of pesticides for controlling fungal outbreaks requires the development of new sustainable strategies for pathogen control. In particular, early and accurate large-scale detection of occurring symptoms is critical to face the ambitious challenge of an effective, energy-saving, and precise disease management. Here, the new trends in digital-based detection and available tools to treat fungal infections are presented in comparison with conventional practices. Recent advances in molecular biology tools, spectroscopic and imaging technologies and fungal risk models based on microclimate trends are examined. The revised spectroscopic and imaging technologies were tested through a case study on rose plants showing important fungal diseases (i.e., spot spectroscopy, hyperspectral, multispectral, and thermal imaging, fluorescence sensors). The final aim was the examination of conventional practices and current e-tools to gain the early detection of plant diseases, the identification of timing and spacing for their proper management, reduction in crop losses through environmentally friendly and sustainable production systems. Moreover, future perspectives for enhancing the integration of all these approaches are discussed.

“…The gravity model represents a kind of spatial interaction model and can be used to calculate the number of interactions between two countries. The fundamental idea behind spatial interaction models is that the degree of interaction between two countries is a function of the degrees of concentration of people or things in the two countries, and a measure of the distance separating these countries (Cardoso, Rasetti, Giampietri, Finco & Shikida, 2017).…”

Objective: Within the framework of the treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (USMCA), the objective of this study is to provide a description through econometric methods of the variables that influence tomato trade, in addition to describing the commercial dynamics of the sector in both Mexico and the United States. Design / Methodology / Approach: A gravity model was applied to investigate and evaluate the role of some of the main economic and geographic variables as determinants of Mexican trade flows. Results: The results show that the most important variables are the US gross national income per capita (GNIPC), as well as the US per capita production and consumption volumes calculated from apparent national consumption (ANC). It was also found that the variable GNIPC is better to determine the model than the gross domestic product per capita (GDPPC), due to the qualities of the variables. Limitations / Implications: Statistical records for the period 1994 to 2020 were taken into account, considering all varieties of tomato produced and exported. Findings / Conclusions: Regarding income, the variable with the best fit in the model was in GNIPC, which was adopted in the World Bank’s current way of classifying countries by income, variables such as consumption and production behaved in a typical way increasing and decreasing the volume traded. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most competitive and profitable agricultural products in Mexico.

“…Rhythm of the production process of growing flowers in greenhouse farms depends on a rationally organized process of selling products, its planning and dynamism through organized sales channels, both to local markets and to global ones [18]. Proposed sales channels for finished products from the greenhouse complex of JSC "Sukhovskiy": opening of its own flower shop, point sale; making contracts with intermediaries; building contractual relationships with firms participating in the local flower market; sale through trade and retail networks; implementation via the Internet, "promoting" through popular social networks.…”

The study of the product range of the enterprise, in particular, the agricultural ones, is one of the priority areas. Maintaining a stable demand for reduced goods is an obligatory condition for strategizing activities, a guarantee of development. The presented research reflects the theoretical foundations of enterprise management, in terms of building a strategy; the assortment features for both commodity and trade ones are disclosed; the authors highlighted the specifics of agricultural production through strategic management and its goal setting. In the main part of the work, there is a block focused on the study of the assortment within the framework of the agricultural enterprise management, based on the product range optimization. This is supported by the conclusions that this approach is a source of diversification of an agricultural enterprise production activity and takes into account both the existing market needs and the capabilities of the enterprise itself when creating the necessary conditions for its development, ensuring competitiveness not only in local markets, but also includes a possibility to expand its market zone. The assortment of goods was studied in a separate block on the example of a specific agricultural enterprise - the greenhouse complex JSC “Sukhovskiy”, a member of the Siberian agricultural complex of the brand “Em Rodnoe”. The assessment of the main economic indicators of the activities of JSC “Sukhovskiy” was carried out. For the purpose of practical testing of the developed directions of strategizing the product range of JSC “Sukhovskiy”, there was proposed a variant of its expansion by introducing roses into the “line” of production as the most popular and demanded flowers in high demand among the population. In addition, the agrotechnology of this production in the conditions of a greenhouse economy is shown, possible sales channels for finished products are proposed, the costs of the “rose” assortment line are structured and the predicted economic effect from the implementation of the proposed measures is calculated.
