The provincial government was in particular interested in analysis at the industry level of key industries with high growth potential, and a joint decision was quickly made to study the value chain of three industries; horticulture, furniture, and gems and jewelry. In addition to studying constraints to growth at the sector level, the intent has been to also have an in-depth analysis of the provincial investment climate in a chapter on crosscutting constraints. This would draw on data from the survey that would form the basis for the Second Investment Climate Assessment to be produced by the World Bank. The data from this survey has been delayed, so the crosscutting section of this policy note with the investment climate analysis will be presented in a follow up version of the policy note in the last quarter of 2008. Volume 1 is the main report, and Volume 2 consists of annexes.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSACTION PLANAGRICULTUREAUCTIONAUCTIONSAUTOMATIONBARRIERS TO ENTRYBENCHMARKINGBENCHMARKSBRANDBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INFORMATIONBUY SIDEBUYERBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCARTELCERTIFICATESCHAMBERS OF COMMERCECLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOLLUSIONCOMMERCECOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMER PREFERENCESCONSUMERSCONTROL SYSTEMSCOORDINATION MECHANISMSCUSTOMDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESDISPOSABLE INCOMEDISTRIBUTION CHANNELSDOMAINDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC VALUEECONOMIES OF SCALEELASTICITYENVIRONMENTALEQUIPMENTEXPORT EARNINGSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT OPPORTUNITYEXPORTSFAIRFAIR TRADEFARMSFEASIBILITY STUDYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINISHED PRODUCTFINISHED PRODUCTSFISHERIESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREST MANAGEMENTGDPGEOLOGICAL DATAGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBALIZATIONGROWTH POLICYGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEHARDWAREHYPERMARKETHYPERMARKETSIMAGEINCOME LEVELSINDUSTRY PRODUCTIVITYINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINFORMATION PROVISIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINNOVATIONINPUT PRICESINPUT PROVIDERSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ENVIRONMENTINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICESINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONINTERNATIONAL MARKETINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSITCLABOR COSTSLABOR MARKETLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLICENSESLOGGINGMAFIAMANUFACTURINGMARKET ACCESSMARKET DEMANDMARKET INFORMATIONMARKET OPPORTUNITIESMARKET OPPORTUNITYMARKET POSITIONMARKET PRICESMARKET RESEARCHMARKET SEGMENTMARKET SEGMENTSMARKET SHAREMARKET STUDYMARKET TRENDSMARKET VALUEMARKETINGMARKETPLACEMARKETPLACESMATERIALMERCHANDISEMERCHANDISE TRADEMERCHANDISINGMIDDLEMENMOBILE ACCESSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGIESOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYOPPORTUNITY COSTPATENTSPER CAPITA INCOMEPILOT PROJECTSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPREMIUM PRICEPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCT DELIVERYPRODUCT DEVELOPMENTPRODUCT MARKETPRODUCT QUALITYPRODUCT SPECIFICATIONSPRODUCTION COSTSPRODUCTION INPUTSPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYPROFIT MARGINPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODPURCHASINGQUALITY STANDARDSREFRIGERATIONRELIABILITYRESULTRESULTSRETAILRETAILINGSALESALESSPREADSTORAGE FACILITIESSUBSTITUTESUBSTITUTESSUPERMARKETSUPERMARKETSSUPPLIERSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAINSSUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALSSURPLUSESSUSTAINABLE FORESTRYTARGET MARKETSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNICAL TRAININGTECHNOLOGY INITIATIVESTIMBERTIMBER PRICESTOTAL COSTSTRACKING SYSTEMSVALUATIONVALUE ADDEDVALUE CHAINVIRUSESWAGESWEBWEB SITEWHOLESALERWHOLESALERSWORLD MARKETS10.1596/18904
