Exploring non-price factors shaping supply response: insights from Cameroon's banana and pineapple horticultural industries

Frontiers in Environmental Economics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3

Опубликована: Июль 2, 2024

Horticulture has the potential to meet development agenda of agrarian economies, like that Cameroon, through cultivation high-value fruits and vegetables. Bananas pineapples are two widely grown in Cameroon for income, employment, foreign earnings. remains an important global player banana trade. To boost production, identifying factors drive supply response such crops is policy question. Here, we ask if non-price determinants horticultural crops, a question received very little attention. The objective this study thus estimate effect on bananas pineapples. do this, Nerlovian function directly estimated via Error correction model using time series data, capture long-run dynamics production supply. results show as rainfall, temperature, land major drivers both crops. effects these factors, however, vary with We provide plausible explanations why salient. Our suggest improving timely availability weather climate information, input subsidies possible areas interventions.

From Flourish to Nourish: Cultivating Soil Health for Sustainable Floriculture

Plants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(21), С. 3055 - 3055

Опубликована: Окт. 31, 2024

Despite its rapid growth and economic success, the sustainability of floriculture industry as it is presently conducted debatable, due to huge environmental impacts initiates incurs. Achieving requires joint efforts from all stakeholders, a fact that often neglected in discussions frequently focus upon economically driven management concerns. This review attempts raise awareness collective responsibility among key practitioners by discussing context soil health, foundation agriculture systems. Major challenges posed health arise acidification salinization stimulated abusive use fertilizers. The poisoning biota pesticide residues plastic debris excessive application pesticides disposal plastics another significant issue concern. consequence continuous cropping obstacles are further elucidated concept plant-soil feedback. Based on these challenges, we propose adoption implementation several sustainable practices including breeding stress-resistant nutrient-efficient cultivars, making goal production, recycling overcome mitigate decline health. problems created flower waste materials highlighted efficient treatment biochar synthesis suggested. We acknowledge complexity developing implementing proposed there limited collaboration research operational communities, policymakers. Additional examining has soils needed develop more production can help resolve current threats bridge understanding gap between researchers stakeholders floriculture.
