Iran announces tomato export ban

He added that “for the first time, export of quality tomato kicked off from this sub-province to Qatar.”

Given the above issue, tomato was exporting to the neighboring countries of Iraq and Afghanistan via land but this year, this agricultural product exported to neighboring Qatar via sea.

To create balance in supply and demand market of this product and support tomato farmers, suitable ways have been provided in the country for exporting this kitchen garden product to overseas including Iraq, Afghanistan and Qatar.

He put the under-cultivation tomato land area in the current Farming Year in this city at 5,300 ha and it is predicted that 240,000 tons of quality tomato will be produced in this province.

About 50 percent of tomato has been picked in this province since harvesting season, he said, adding, “of total tomato harvested, 10,000 tons has been exported to other countries while the rest has been used in the domestic markets.”

With regard to the rate of tomato purchased by tomato paste manufacturing companies, he reiterated, “tomato paste production units in the country buy 10 tons of quality tomato from farmers of this province daily.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, Mohammad-Doost added, “Dayyer sub-province is the main hub of tomato raising out of season in a way that 10,000 farmers are busy working in this city seasonally and permanently.

Every year, out-of-season tomato is cultivated in Iranian months of Mordad and Shahrivar in this province and is harvested in Iranian months of Azar and Dey, he concluded.

FRESH FRUITS & VEGETABLES

FFV


India's diverse climate ensures availability of all varieties of fresh fruits & vegetables. It ranks second in fruits and vegetables production in the 

world, after China. As per National Horticulture Database published by National Horticulture Board, during 2015-16, India produced 90.2 million metric tonnes of fruits and 169.1 million metric tonnes of vegetables. The area under cultivation of fruits stood at 6.3 million hectares while vegetables were cultivated at 10.1 million hectares.



India is the largest producer of ginger and okra amongst vegetables and ranks second in production of potatoes, onions, cauliflowers, brinjal, Cabbages, etc. Amongst fruits, the country ranks first in production of Bananas (25.7%), Papayas (43.6%) and Mangoes (including mangosteens and guavas) (40.4%).

The vast production base offers India tremendous opportunities for export. During 2017-18, India exported fruits and vegetables worth Rs. 9,410.81 crores/ 1,459.93 USD Millions which comprised of fruits worth Rs. 4,229.03 crores/ 655.90 USD Millions and vegetables worth Rs. 5181.78 crores/ 804.03 USD Millions.

Mangoes, Walnuts, Grapes, Bananas, Pomegranates account for larger portion of fruits exported from the country while Onions, Okra, Bitter Gourd, Green Chilles, Mushrooms and Potatoes contribute largely to the vegetable export basket.

The major destinations for Indian fruits and vegetables are UAE, Sri Lanka, Netherland, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nepal, UK, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Though India's share in the global market is still nearly 1% only, there is increasing acceptance of horticulture produce from the country. This has occurred due to concurrent developments in the areas of state-of-the-art cold chain infrastructure and quality assurance measures. Apart from large investment pumped in by the private sector, public sector has also taken initiatives and with APEDA's assistance several Centers for Perishable Cargoes and integrated post harvest handling facilities have been set up in the country. Capacity building initiatives at the farmers, processors and exporters' levels has also contributed towards this effort.

trading : Cost blamed for lack of info uptake - fruit vegetable



GROWERS are too tight to pay for wholesale fruit and vegetable market prices.

That's the suggestion by the sole fresh produce markets information service in response to calls for real-time markets sales information.

Queensland horticulture advocacy group Growcom called for the establishment of real-time price information for fruit and vegetables traded in wholesale markets within its submission to the Federal Government's review of the Horticulture Code of Conduct.

The central markets representative body Fresh Markets Australia labeled the call "commercially naïve and mischievous".

Now, the owner behind the price information service has called Growcom's suggestion as irresponsible and unrealistic.

Brisbane-based Market Information Services (MIS) provides information on the sale of produce at the four major fresh produce wholesale markets throughout the country.

Business principal Jon Brewer said the sales data is entered as soon as possible each trading day and the information is collated, checked, verified and distributed throughout Australia well before midday.

Mr Brewer said that, from his experience, some growers, industry organisations and other industry participants just did not want to pay for the daily service.

Mr Brewer said it was not a matter of the quality and accuracy of sales price data, nor the access or timeliness, but an aversion to paying for the service that has been and remains the predominant issue.

A weekly e-mail summary report for all fruit and vegetable crops at the Brisbane Markets costs $15.40. A single crop report costs $8.80.

A detailed e-mail report costs $22 with a single crop report costing $11.

Monthly summaries ($22) and monthly detailed reports ($33) are available as well. Prices from Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide can also be included for extra costs.

Subscribers can also choose from just getting the fruit or the vegetable report, or a selection of six to 10 crops or two to five crops, which they then nominate.

Turkey’s fruit and vegetable exports to Russia drop sharply

Turkey’s fruit and vegetable exports to Russia drop sharply

Turkish fruit and vegetable exports to the crisis-stricken Russian Federation have taken a hit in recent months, declining 20 percent in November and December of last year for a loss of $55 million, said West Mediterranean Exporters' Union (BAİB) President Mustafa Satıcı at a press conference in Antalya on Monday.

Satıcı said representatives from the economy ministries of both countries are planning to hold a meeting in Antalya next month to explore possible strategies to resuscitate exports. He said that one possible approach would be to base trade between the two countries on the lira and ruble rather than on the currently robust US dollar. The value of the lira has declined against the dollar considerably over the past couple of years, while the ruble has suffered as global oil prices dropped to record lows. Satıcı said that devaluation played a major role in the sluggish export performance during the last two months of 2014.

2014 was not an overall negative year for Mediterranean exporters, according to Satıcı, who said that the provinces of Antalya, Isparta and Burdur exported $1.638 million in fruits and vegetables to 151 different countries, a 6.1 percent increase from the previous year. Tomatoes and grapes were the two most exported products from the region in 2014. Satıcı said that exports in other area sectors such as mining, forestry products and the chemical industry had all increased exports between 25 and 30 percent last year.

After Russia banned imports from the EU, the US and other Western countries after it was slapped with sanctions for its annexation of Crimea, Turkish exporters in various sectors expressed their interest in increasing business or embarking on new ventures regarding Russia-bound exports.
