Horticulture has the potential to meet the development agenda of agrarian economies, like that of Cameroon, through the cultivation of high-value fruits and vegetables. Bananas and pineapples are two widely grown fruits in Cameroon for income, employment, and foreign earnings. Cameroon remains an important global player in the banana trade. To boost production, identifying important factors that drive the supply response of such crops is an important policy question. Here, we ask if non-price factors are important determinants of supply response of such horticultural crops, a question that has received very little attention. The objective of this study is thus to estimate the effect of non-price factors on the supply response of bananas and pineapples. To do this, a Nerlovian response function is directly estimated via an Error correction model using time series data, to capture long-run dynamics of production and supply. The results show that non-price factors such as rainfall, temperature, and land are the major drivers of the supply response of both crops. The effects of these factors, however, vary with the crops. We provide plausible explanations why non-price factors are salient. Our results suggest that improving the timely availability of weather and climate information, and input subsidies are possible areas for policy interventions.

Agroforestry, as a sustainable land management practice, has garnered attention worldwide for its potential to mitigate climate change impacts and address water scarcity issues. In Tunisia, where climate change-induced stresses are increasingly affecting agriculture and water resources, agroforestry presents a promising solution. This review paper examines the importance of agroforestry in Tunisia within the context of climate change, water shortage, and treated wastewater utilization. By analyzing existing literature and case studies, the paper elucidates the ecological, economic, and social benefits of agroforestry practices in Tunisia. Additionally, it discusses the role of agroforestry in enhancing resilience to climate change, conserving water resources, and utilizing treated wastewater sustainably. Furthermore, the paper evaluates policy support and identifies challenges hindering the widespread adoption of agroforestry in Tunisia. Overall, this review underscores the significance of agroforestry as a multifaceted approach to sustainable land management in Tunisia, offering recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to promote its implementation and integration into national strategies.
