The fastest growing market sector, however, is horticulture, where annual consumption has increased from 48,400 tonnes in 1992 to 75,900 in 1998. The UK is a major importer of crude perlite, with imports reaching approximately 55,000t in 1997. This report is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts. They have interviewed major industry players and conducted a close appraisal of information from a wide variety of sources, including governments, trade associations, company reports, leading producers, official organisations, trade journals and technical literature.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
