Hasan, Alphis Ponniah, Yaraguntappa Basavaraju, Frans Teutscher, Melba Reantaso, James Kapetsky, Annick van Houtte-Sabatucci, Peter Edwards, Ulf Wijkström, Joel Van Eenennaam, Cécile Brugere and Hazme Akyol. Translations have been made from English to the other official FAO languages by André Coche (French), Ricardo Norambuena and Manuel Martinez Espinosa (Spanish), Abdel-Fattah M. El-Sayed and Magdy A. Saleh (Arabic) and Miao Weimin (Chinese).
