  • 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.

  • Fruit Load Estimation in Mango Orchards – a Method Comparison
    Fruit load estimation in mango orchards – a method comparison J. P. Underwood1, M.M. Rahman2, A. Robson2, K. B. Walsh3, A. Koirala3, Z. Wang3 Abstract—The fruit load of entire mango orchards was been previously described for macadamia and avocado by [1] estimated well before harvest using (i) in-field machine vision on (e.g. R2 = 0.81, 0.68 and 0.72 on three avocado blocks, mobile platforms and (ii) WorldView-3 satellite imagery. For respectively; for 18 trees per block). This remote sensing in-field machine vision, two imaging platforms were utilized, approach allows for a yield forecast of large areas. However, with (a) day time imaging with LiDAR based tree segmentation Robson et al. [1] reported that the VI used and the relationship and multiple views per tree, and (b) night time imaging system slope between that VI and fruit load varied with orchard, using two images per tree. The machine vision approaches necessitating field-work for calibration at each orchard. involved training of neural networks with image snips from one orchard only, followed by use for all other orchards (varying in Machine vision systems for estimation of mango fruit load location and cultivar). Estimates of fruit load per tree achieved on tree have been previously reported by Payne et al. [2] and up to a R2 = 0.88 and a RMSE = 22.5 fruit/tree against harvest Stein et al. [3]. The former study [2] used a night imaging, fruit count per tree (n = 18 trees per orchard). With satellite dual-view approach (two images of each tree, from the two imaging, a regression was established between a number of inter rows), with a report of a coefficient of determination (R2) spectral indices and fruit number for a set (n=18) of trees in each of only 0.74 relative to human count, with fruit number under 2 orchard (example: R = 0.57, RMSE = 22 fruit/tree), and this estimated due to canopy occlusion.

  • The Use of Biotechnology in Sindh, Pakistan Farzana Panhwar
    The use of biotechnology in Sindh, Pakistan Farzana Panhwar The use of biotechnology in Sindh, Pakistan to improve Agriculture, its growth and bring Sustainable Development in the country. by Farzana Panhwar Abstract. Sindh has Sub-tropical climate , which is extremely suitable for large number of crops, but the farmers of Sindh are illiterate and they raise crops just by copying each other and do not take a risk with their investment. Due to this practice the local market is full with conventional fruits and vegetable raised here namely : mangoes, guava, grapefruit, lemon, lime, sapodilla, cherimoya, dates, lychee, papaya, melons and zizyphus mauritania. The net result is a few varieties of each fruit growing over short season and a glut of one or another fruit crops, throughout the year, and consequently low prices. Due to mono-culture all diseases, infection , and viral attacks are frequent, due to cover large area under same crop, and its control become difficult. The solution lies in diversification of crops, with extension of harvest season and new cultivars, especially evolved by breeding , tissue culture , genetic engineering and bio-technology. These would be extremely beneficial, to bring sustainability locally and globally. Agriculture is the backbone of our economy as well as of our foreign trade. To strengthen the economy of Pakistan, one should first of all take necessary steps to reform the agricultural system of the country. This can only be done by educating the farmers in the latest method of cultivation ,new developments in agricultural inputs and day to day changes in Agricultural Research arena. If we improve the agricultural sector in Sindh, and improve its economic growth and conditions, this alone can bring the sustainability locally and globally.

  • 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..
