The Spice Trade
Author: Jeanie M. Welch
Publisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
The trade in spices is one of the oldest and, at one time, one of the most important forms of commerce. While taken for granted today, spices have been coveted, plundered, fought over, and hoarded throughout history. The Age of Exploration was fueled in part by the desire to find direct routes to the spice-growing regions of Asia. Fortunes were made, battles fought, and countries conquered to satisfy the Western spice trade. This book is the first comprehensive bibliography on the economic and historical aspects of the spice trade. Arranged in broad chronological categories, the bibliography lists monographs, periodical articles, and other miscellaneous sources, including pamphlets and maps. The first chapter includes sources covering more than one time period or the entire history of the spice trade. Chapter two covers the period from Biblical times through the fall of the Roman Empire, c. 400 A.D., including ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Holy Land. The Dark Ages and Middle Ages, from c. 400 to 1500, are covered in chapter three. Chapter four covers the Age of Exploration and Colonialism, including the European voyages and the colonization of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The final chapter provides selective coverage of the post-World War II era. Sources listed in all chapters are in Western languages and available in U.S. libraries.

Growth, Production, and Distribution of Spices

Pages : 164
Book Description
Climate change-induced water scarcity and high salinity threaten the livelihoods of millions of farmers in India and Bangladesh. The agricultural sector's lack of structural transformation makes farmers more vulnerable to these stressors. This sector employs many people but contributes little to these country's GDPs. Rural non-farming (economic activities not associated with farming) could improve farmer's lives. Over the past two decades, more farmers in India and Bangladesh have turned to non-farming, and now almost half of farming household incomes come from non-farming. More frequent floods, droughts, irregular rainfalls and higher temperature and salinity levels will make it difficult for poor farmers to improve their livelihoods. Understanding why farmers turn to rural enterprise would help design better policy, and ensure that farmer's transition to non-farming was rapid and successful. This project studied the livelihood choices (especially entrepreneurial choices) that climate-stressed farmers made in water scarce areas of West Bengal and Bihar in India, and in salinity-prone regions of south-west Bangladesh. It examined how householder's natural, physical, human, financial and institutional capital bases influenced the uptake, competitiveness and profitability of their entrepreneurial ventures and other livelihood choices such as rural labour and migration."
