Regions

The potential for high-quality, high-value products to increase the incomes of small mountain farmers exists in every major region of the world. Furthermore, the main constraints are similar across the world: inappropriate technology, credit constraints, production and marketing risks, and the costs for buyers of dealing with many small farmers. Nonetheless, the relative importance of each constraint varies from one area to another depending on the agro-ecological characteristics, local institutions, and market conditions.
