Characterizing avocado production systems for Ugandan exports: the need for consolidation and support for sustainable development

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: Feb. 12, 2025

Hass avocado production and trade are rapidly expanding globally, with increasing consumer demands on quality, safety sustainability. Last decade, the contribution of East Africa has increased tremendously following several comparative advantages. However, despite substantial recent public private investments, Uganda’s export lags behind neighboring countries. This is mainly due to sector’s limited organization, resulting in a fragmented market varying socio-economic, environmental, agronomic conditions. Consequently, data insights these variable systems negatively impact effectiveness interventions investments sector. In this study, producers were randomly selected across Uganda. Field visits included farm field surveys, GPS mapping areas, soil sampling for wet-chemistry analysis. Descriptive statistics, multivariate logistic regression, ANOVA used assess characteristics practices access advisory services certification. Farming dynamics characterized by assessing demographics, economic data, marketing, farmer farming including nutrient management, irrigation, pest disease control, post-harvest management. Results show immature but sector Production mostly occurs small- medium-sized fields no or inputs (i.e., fertilisers, pesticides, irrigation), using manual labor (family hired) under mixed cropping systems, lacking critical infrastructure, knowledge, extension services, markets. contrast farmer’s belief that soils suitable fertile avocado, analyses indicate urgent need site specific management interventions. Implementation good seem related size, lesser extent influenced age, orchard agroecology, while membership organizations/associations currently bring benefits. study highlights advantages opportunities Uganda identifies priority challenges be tackled future targeting sustainable industry.

Degradation of limonene and trans-cinnamaldehyde in soil, and detection of their metabolites by UHPLC and GC-HRMS

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 31(22), P. 33058 - 33068

Published: April 26, 2024

Two commercial biopesticides were studied to determine their persistence in two soil types, such as sandy clay loam and soils. For this purpose, an orange oil-based biopesticide was used, being limonene its main ingredient. The other based on cinnamon extract trans-cinnamaldehyde component. Degradation of these compounds monitored, transformation products or metabolites detected. Limonene analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) ultra-high-performance liquid (UHPLC). Both techniques coupled a high-resolution mass (HRMS) analyzer, quadrupole (Q)-Orbitrap. rapidly degraded result first-order kinetics. Possible thymol, cymene, isoterpinolene cymenene for limonene, hydroxycinnamic acid tentatively identified. Moreover, four trans-cinnamaldehyde, some them not previously described, also

Sustainability of the community model of avocado production in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Michoacán, México

GeoJournal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 89(5)

Published: Aug. 19, 2024

Abstract The avocado is a commodity crop that has generated severe environmental and social impacts in Michoacán, the world’s leading producer. Current studies overlook diversity of production by focusing on Michocán’s central region, while regions more recent expansion remain poorly studied. We analyzed model five indigenous communities municipality Zitácuaro have part their territory within Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. use Framework for Evaluation Management Systems using Sustainability Indicators to characterize evaluate sustainability Community Model Avocado Production (CMAP). Based 42 interviews with producers, we identified eleven critical points related (small-scale production; forest conservation; high prophylactic agrochemicals; dependence irrigation), economic (high diversity; low profitability; yield loss pests; diversification), technical advisors; labor force external community; few changes land ownership) aspects sustainability. CMAP productive socio-political characteristics represent strengths weaknesses its main results suggest (2007–2022) did not involve change use. Socially, favors local workforce facilitates maintenance ownership. mostly limited aspects. With adequate support socially environmentally sustainable practices, can improve livelihoods promoting conservation.

Avocado Water Footprint for Two Municipalities in Michoacán, Mexico: A Research of the Blue and Green WF

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(7), P. 981 - 981

Published: June 24, 2024

The Water Footprint (WF) is an indicator used to determine good practices for efficiently using water in human activities. This work evaluates the green (rainfed) and blue (irrigation) footprint of avocado cultivation municipalities Acuitzio (2012–2016) Morelia (2016–2020) Michoacán, Mexico. Likewise, stress irrigation use analyzed, linking WF with volumes concessions agricultural use. results revealed that mean 1292.49 m3/ton, 689.23 m3/ton. In Morelia, 582.97 711.74 production irrigated 7963.62 (ton/year), 8547.76 which allows us project that, Acuitzio, crop requires annual 5,046,610.69 m3, while requirement 6,029,920.59 m3. average volume 3,357,782.93 demand 149.27%. situation shows this municipality since consumption exceeds available resources. For 11,418,745.40 as a 53.18%, can put supply resource other crops at risk.
