DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe citrus industry has continued to establish itself as one of South Africa's primary agricultural sectors. With a national unemployment rate of over 25%, the South African citrus industry has played a significant role in providing a source of economic activity for the country's largely rural population. Additionally, the agricultural sector continues attracting immigrants from neighboring countries seeking additional employment opportunities. Primarily focusing on its transition from a regulated to deregulated industry (brought upon by the removal of apartheid and, in turn, the country's first democratic political party), the citrus industry has encountered numerous transformative periods. Previous research focuses predominantly on the initial implications caused by the deregulation process. Comparatively, little research has analyzed the efficiency or more recent economic performance of the citrus industry, nor the relations between institutional arrangements from a pre-and post-deregulated period. This research aims to contribute to the limited existing literature by qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing these understudied components. We present an industrial organizations analysis of the industry's structure, conduct and performance, an import demand model, and a case-study based upon interviews and responses from South African farmers and exporters. Attempting to provide insight into the current institutional arrangement of direct trading adopted by mass retailers, the case study's farmers and exporters discuss its viability. Additionally, we examine potential short and long term consequences brought upon by this new channel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Genus Citrus presents the enormous amount of new knowledge that has been generated in recent years on nearly all topics related to citrus. Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles and understanding of citrus biology and behavior, the book provides a comprehensive view from Citrus evolution to current market importance. Reporting on new insights supported by the elucidation of the citrus genome sequence, it presents groundbreaking theories and fills in previous knowledge gaps. Because citrus is among the most difficult plants to improve through traditional breeding, citrus researchers, institutions and industries must quickly learn to adapt to new developments, knowledge and technologies to address the biological constraints of a unique fruit-tree such as citrus. Despite the challenges of working with citrus, tremendous progress has been made, mostly through advances in molecular biology and genomics. This book is valuable for all those involved with researching and advancing, producing, processing, and delivering citrus products. - Includes the most current research on citrus genomic information - Provides the first detailed description of citrus origin, a new proposal for citrus taxonomy, and a redefinition of the genus Citrus - Details citrus challenges including climate change, global disease impacts, and plant improvement strategies
