Black Corals - Post Harvest Aspects

Description:

This short paper considers the marketing and processing of black corals. It largely consists of extracts from May, 1987 FFA report "A study of the Marketing and Processing of Precious Coral Products in Taiwan, Japan and Hawaii." by C. Carleton and P.W. Philipson. Copies of the full report, which covers in addition pink (precious) corals and other aspects of a more general nature and contains recommendations for future developments focused particularly on the Pacific Island region, can be obtain on request from FFA. As indicated above, this paper is made up principally of extracts from the earlier FFA report. This is because no further work has been done by FFA in this area since then, so there is no supplementary information to add. However, some additional information that was gathered at the time of the preparation of the original report, but was not incorporated in it for various reasons is included here, in the hope that it might be of some relevance.
