Flowers never before seen in the shops are now offered for sale in markets and by florists in Europe, due to rapid transport by air freight and sophisticated packaging, which ensures that the flowers stay fresh.
The export of cut flowers is no longer restricted to Mediterranean areas, such as the south of France, Italy, Israel and Morocco. These countries are still important producers but, during the last thirty to forty years, African countries such as Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire and others have secured a position in this trade.
Cut flowers is aimed at tropical growers, particularly those in Africa, who operate fairly close to large towns or cities, whether they are independent or members of a cooperative or growers' group. The book contains details of the main production factors such as climate, soils, propagation, fertilizers and pest and disease control, and there is a section on packaging, transport and markets. Thirty-five popular flowers are discussed in detail, with technical advice on their cultivation.

In 1991, as the result of the
recommendations, CTA launched a programme of activities to support rural radio programmes in ACP countries.

Agricultural extension in Africa
At a regional seminar held in Libreville in 1991, during which the agricultural information needs of Central African countries were discussed, it was recommended that an international workshop be organized to discuss the different experiences in agricultural extension and the challenges faced in the current economic climate.
As a direct response to this request CTA organized an international workshop in Yaoundé, Cameroon from 24-28 January, 1994. The proceedings contain seven keynote papers by eminent personalities in the field as well as several thematic papers on topics such as the role of women in agricultural extension, farmers organizations, changing perspectives in agricultural extension and networking for sustainability.
