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 INFORMATIONACTION PLANAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREAUCTIONAUCTIONSBARGAININGBARGAINING POWERBARRIERS TO ENTRYBENCHMARKSBENEFIT ANALYSISBEST PRACTICESBRANDBRANDSBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS ENTITIESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCATERINGCERTIFICATESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOALCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOLLUSIONCOMMODITIESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCONNECTIVITYCONSUMER DEMANDCONSUMER PREFERENCESCOORDINATION MECHANISMSCOST ANALYSISCUSTOMCUSTOMSDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDISPOSABLE INCOMEDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDISTRIBUTION CHANNELSDOMAINDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSDRIVERSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEELECTRICITYENVIRONMENTALEQUIPMENTEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSEXPORTSFAIRFAIR TRADEFARMSFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHERIESFOREST MANAGEMENTFORESTRYFORWARD MARKETSGDPGDP PER CAPITAGEOLOGICAL DATAGLOBAL MARKETSGOVERNMENT REVENUEGROWTH POLICYGROWTH POTENTIALINCOME LEVELSINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINFORMATION PROVISIONINPUT PRICESINSPECTIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEIPLABOR COSTSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLICENSELICENSE FEESLOGGINGMAFIAMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARKET ACCESSMARKET INFORMATIONMARKET POSITIONMARKET PRICESMARKET RESEARCHMARKET SEGMENTSMARKET STUDYMARKET TRENDSMARKETINGMARKETPLACEMATERIALMERCHANDISINGMERCHANTSMETALSMIDDLEMENMINESNATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGIESOBSOLETE TECHNOLOGYOPPORTUNITY COSTOUTPUTSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOTENTIAL INVESTORSPOTENTIAL OUTPUTPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCT FLOWPRODUCT QUALITYPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYPROFIT MARGINPROPERTY RIGHTSPROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC GOODSQUALITY STANDARDSRELIABILITYRENTSRESULTRESULTSRETAILRETAILINGSAFETYSAFETY STANDARDSSALESALESSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESSOCIAL CONFLICTSPREADSTANDARDIZATIONSUBSTITUTESSUPPLIERSSUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALSSURPLUSESTARGET MARKETSTARGETSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL STAFFTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNICAL TRAININGTIMBERTRACKING SYSTEMSTRADE FACILITATIONTRAINING COURSESUNEMPLOYMENTVALUE ADDEDVALUE CHAINVALUE CHAINSWEALTHWHOLESALERS10.1596/18891
