Briefing notes on food processing industries in developing countries

(World Bank, 2010)

Simple food processing industries have long been established in most developing countries, but they are now changing under the impact of new technology and growing with increasing agricultural outputs. The more sophisticated food industries are developing rapidly because purchases of made-up foods form a high proportion of household expenditure and expand very quickly at low income levels. Food is widely traded internationally and food processing industries can play an important role in exports.

Community Seed Banks

(FAO, 2014) Food and Agriculture Organization

Community seed banks store and manage seeds that aim to provide community members with seeds to use. seeds are obtained from the farmers in the community and are selected and stored depending on the agreed storage system. Community seed banks can take different forms, for example, seeds can be stored in pots in a shed or community buildings, or in clay pots on the floor, in a family granary or on the kitchen shelf. Once the seeds are collected from the farmers, they are stored in a community seed bank until they are needed.
