  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)2545/06-07(05) www.savethestreetmarket.com www.savethestreetmarket.com is a campaign focused on reversing the disintegration of street markets. The objective is to ensure sustainable, vibrant, safe and hygienic open air street markets in Hong Kong for the enjoyment of residents and visitors, commercially viable for hawkers, and integrated into the fabric of any future development. The street markets are dying – Act now! The street markets will disappear unless immediate action is taken: 1. Since 1970 the Authority has adopted the policy of NOT issuing new hawker licenses; 2. The resumption of properties by the Urban Renewal Authority will eliminate the support facilities and disrupt the street market operations. How to make the street markets a success Five factors are critical for street markets to be able to function in Hong Kong: 1. Areas allocated as Hawker Bazaars with Hawker Permitted Places; 2. Hawker licences; 3. Area management (regular cleansing, traffic control); 4. Support facilities (storage, electricity); 5. Continuity (Minimal disruption). Urgent action is essential Time is running out for the licenced hawkers as many are now old people. Moreover, the URA is under pressure to commence soonest, as many property owners have waited for their compensation since projects were announced by its predecessor, the Land Development Corporation. Urgent action and support is required from the community, District Councils, URA, FEHD and Transport Department to ensure healthy street markets by designating areas as permanent open-air hawker bazaars, by accepting fresh applications and issuing new hawker licences, and by including storage facilities at reasonable rent in the development plans for adjoining properties.

  • The Hong Kong Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Page 1 of 44
    The Hong Kong Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Page 1 of 44 The Hong Kong Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (This market survey was produced by the USAID-funded Agribusiness Development Project (ADP) in Indonesia. It was authored by Henry Harmon, Marketing Advisor, in December 1994 in Jakarta. Note that tables for the sections "Notes of Fruit Imports" and "Notes on Vegetables Imports" are not included on this site due to size limitations. ) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | MARKET OVERVIEW | DOMESTIC PRODUCTION | FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE IMPORTS | MAJOR MARKET SEGMENTS | CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION | TRANSPORTATION | PRICING AND MARGINS | PACKAGING | TERMS OF TRADE | QUALITY STANDARDS AND FOOD SAFETY REGULATIONS | PHYTOSANITARY REQUIREMENTS | NOTES ON STATISTICAL SOURCES | NOTES ON VEGETABLE IMPORTS | NOTES ON FRUIT IMPORTS | LIST OF HONG KONG IMPORTERS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Every day the population of Hong Kong consumes about 950 tons of rice, 1,020 tons of vegetables, 7,610 pigs, 270 tons of poultry, 570 tons of fish and 1,700 tons of fruit. As only 7% of Hong Kong's land area is suitable for farming, local production is especially geared to the production of high quality fresh vegetables and flowers, but even so, farmers are only able to supply less than one quarter of the vegetables and a lesser amount of fruits. The territory imported some HK$ 44,986 million ( U.S.$ 1 = HK$ 7.75)worth of foodstuffs in 1993, and the major imports were fish (HK$ 10,426 million), fruit (HK $6,878 million), meat (HK$ 5,665 million), and vegetables (HK$ 4,228 million). Hong Kong's External Trade Statistics reflect imports of vegetables and fruits at HK$ 11,000,000,000 for 1993.
