This report has applied a ‘whole of supply chain’ approach to the study, and provides a framework to measure costs, risks and returns for the Asian vegetable industry. With ten case studies, the study reviews the commercial viability of Chinese Cabbage, Lotus Root, Burdock and Daikon in Asian markets including Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
