Conference Date: 27-29 August 2013 Venue: Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: 10 March 2013
This an inter-, trans- and multi-disciplinary conference that seeks to examine, explore and understand from diverse perspectives, the nature, travails, challenges, opportunities and prospects of the African agricultural produce trade (cocoa, palm products, groundnuts, tobacco, coffee, cassava/tapioca, banana, tea, dates, citrus and deciduous fruits, spices, livestock products, etc.). The conference will deliberate on the nature of the trade in these products over time, looking at the experiences, innovations, strategies and implications of the trade for farmers, producers, traders, producing communities and countries. It will interrogate the costs and benefits to African producers, governments, and societies of a myriad of strategies to organize the produce trade, ranging from the era of “legitimate trade” to marketing boards and to the current fair trade movement. We welcome papers, works-in-progress, and pre-formed panels from diverse areas of academic study and practice on issues broadly related to the theme of the conference.
