Book Overview

The development of competitive agro-industries is crucial for creating employment and income opportunities as well as enhancing the demand for farm products.

This book has been developed from a meeting of policy makers, governments, UN technical agencies and agro-industry specialists. It addresses the strategies and actions required for improving agro-industrial competitiveness in ways that can contribute to broad-based economic development and poverty reduction.
