Marketing perspectives on a potential Pacific spice
industry. ACIAR Technical Reports No. 15
1990. 60 p. Price $20.00 (includes postage and handling).
The scarcity of information on spices became apparent during an
AClAR study on the economics of vanilla production. This publication
is designed to assist others interested in spices in the South Pacific,
and save them seeking out data from difficult sources. Spices have
been heralded as an area of opportunity for South Pacific agriculture,
and this material should prove invaluable to South Pacific policymakers
and entrepreneurs in making decisions for the benefit of the
region.
