Root and tuber processing, marketing and utilization in the South Pacific
1992
Bjorna, F.
This paper describes the status of root and tuber processing, marketing, and utilization in some selected Pacific countries. The relative importance of various root crops grown is given. The small amount of processing is noted. The main reasons cited are small markets, limited supplies, long distances between production and consumption centers, and poor communication. Marketing of root crops is hampered by difficult transport. Export is mainly of fresh produce to New Zealand. The root crops are utilized for human food, usually baked, boiled, or roasted. The present root crops project is supporting postharvest operations in addition to advising on increasing yields.
