OverviewBill Pritchard provides an important update on how current trade methodologies are implemented as China becomes one of the world’s largest fresh fruit importers from countries such as Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The book also looks at their distinctive trade aspects and what can be learnt from alternative practices carried out in other countries through the use of global production networks. An in-depth analysis provides the reader with a welcome insight into existing processes from production through to export, often through informal routes, with a marketing structure providing more power to the distributors and brokers and mixed effects on the farmers. Using empirical evidence from four countries, this book explores what could, and should, be implemented in this under-researched topic to aid rural development. This will be an invaluable resource for researchers of human geography, international trade and Asian studies, particularly those with a focus on Southeast Asia and China.

A palette of detailed case studies jointly develop our understanding of the emerging regional organization of agricultural trade flows directed to the food market in China by revealing new and different forms of inter-firm relationships and regulatory measures compared to similar but well-researched production networks that connect the Global South to the Global North.' 'This book addresses a variety of case studies of South-Asian regions, which are still under researched in comparison to their economic importance. The Australian Economic Geographer Bill Pritchard and his eleven Asian co-authors combine existing theories with own regional perspectives on the fast emerging fruit value chains between South Asia and China. This is also very interesting from a general analytical perspective as it broadens the view on otherwise often overlooked dynamics and challenges which help understanding current value chain dynamics.' -- Peter Dannenberg, University of Cologne, Germany Author InformationEdited by Bill Pritchard, School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, Australia Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
