Value Chain Analysis for Processed Fruits from Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast
CBI Ministry of Foreign Affairs Value Chain Analysis for Processed Fruits from Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast Commissioned by The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI) Agri-Logic August 2019 Value Chain Analysis for Processed Fruits from Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast Value Chain Analysis for CBI Final edited version 12 August 2019 Prepared by: Herma Mulder Sanne Steemers Jean Bosco Dibouloni Jacques Tamini Mohamed Ali Niang 1 Executive summary Background and scope This value chain analysis was commissioned by CBI (Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries) in order to identify the most promising product market combinations for processed fruit from Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali. Export market competitiveness While tropical dried fruits and tropical frozen fruits are still relatively small compared to the total processed fruit market size, we see that tropical fruits are gaining market share from native European fruits. Preserved fruits (mainly canned pineapple), fruit juices, concentrates (for juices) and coconut oil are larger markets, but they are stable or in some cases declining. Purées for the baby food segment and coconut derivatives other than coconut oil are interesting growth segments when the high quality and food safety standards required are achieved. For all processed fruits market segments, the same countries appear as trade hubs for the European market: The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and Italy. Market trends provide opportunities and threats for the development of a processed fruits segment. Consumer demands for healthy and sustainable products are increasing. The shift in consumer dietary patterns and the growing vegan population is expected to drive the growth of the processed fruit market. -

ZooKeys 955: 67–80. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.955.34432 Abstract Mitochondrial DNA is a useful molecular marker for phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis. In the current study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Eophona personata, the Japanese Grosbeak, and the phylogenetic relationships of E. personata and 16 other species of the family Fringil- lidae based on the sequences of 12 mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genome of E. personata consists of 16,771 base pairs, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and one control region. Analysis of the base composition revealed an A+T bias, a positive AT skew and a negative GC skew. The mitochondrial gene order and arrangement in E. -
Non-Destructive Assessment of Quality and Maturity of Mangoes Based on Image Analysis
MSc. Thesis (MSCV) Department of Applied Computer Science University of Bourgogne Non-destructive assessment of quality and maturity of mangoes based on image analysis Kumar Ankush A Thesis submitted in July 2020 for the Degree of MSc in Computer Vision (VIBOT/MSCV) Master thesis supervised by Dr. Emile Faye and Dr. Julien Sarron of the UPR HortSys of CIRAD. Abstract Quality and maturity estimation of mangoes are important for the organization of harvesting date and post-harvest conservation. Although extensive fruit quality estimations exist, they are mostly destructive in nature and available tools for non-destructive estimation are limited. Maturity estimation rely on visual inspection of the fruit, in-hand feel or destructive measure- ment based on quality assessment. Thus, non-destructive tools for an accurate estimation of the quality and the maturity of the fruit have yet to be developed, especially for smallhold- ers. The aim of this study was to develop a tool for non-destructive assessment of quality and maturity of mangoes based on image analysis. This experiment studied 1040 lateral RGB images of 520 mangoes of di↵erent stages of maturity and harvested in two orchards in West Africa. Upon performing digital image segmentation on the images of mangoes, six image fea- tures were calculated with the use of digital image processing functions in MATLAB and four destructive features were taken in consideration. Then, correlations between destructive and non-destructive features of mangoes were explored. No research is ever quite complete. It is the glory of a good bit of work that it opens the way for something still better, and this repeatedly leads to its own eclipse.. -

Version 2014-04-28 Attached Is the Dynamic1 List of Migratory Landbird
African-Eurasian Migratory Landbirds Action Plan Annex 3: Species Lists Version 2014-04-28 Attached is the dynamic1 list of migratory landbird species that occur within the African Eurasian region according to the following definition: 1. Migratory is defined as those species recorded within the IUCN Species Information Service (SIS) and BirdLife World Bird Database (WBDB) as ‘Full Migrant’, i.e. species which have a substantial (>50%) proportion of the global population which migrates: - with the addition of Great Bustard Otis tarda which is listed on CMS Appendix I and is probably erroneously recorded as an altitudinal migrant within SIS and the WBDB - with the omission of all single-country endemic migrants, in order to conform with the CMS definition of migratory which requires a species to ‘cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries,’; in reality this has meant the removal of only one species, Madagascar Blue-pigeon Alectroenas madagascariensis. However, it should be noted that removing single-country endemics is not strictly analogous with omitting species that do not cross political borders. It is quite possible for a migratory species whose range extends across multiple countries to contain no populations that actually cross national boundaries as part of their regular migration. 2. African-Eurasian is defined as Africa, Europe (including all of the Russian Federation and excluding Greenland), the Middle East, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and the Indian sub-continent. 3. Landbird is defined as those species not recorded in SIS and the WBDB as being seabirds, raptors or waterbirds, except for the following waterbird species that are recorded as not utilising freshwater habitats: Geronticus eremita, Geronticus calvus, Burhinus oedicnemus, Cursorius cursor and Tryngites subruficollis. -
