The markets for organic horticultural products in developed countries offer interesting diversification possibilities for countries which are dependent on the export of a small number of agricultural commodities.

The conference will cover the main issues related to the marketing of organic horticultural products, including market outlets, logistics, certification and standards. Some production issues will also be addressed as they relate to exports. The debates will focus on the specific situation of the Caribbean / Latin American countries. The commodities covered will be organic fruit and vegetables, both temperate and tropical.
