This document provides details of a field mission conducted by project staff to Xiengkhouang province in Laos to assess the Northern Smallholder Livestock Commercialization Project. The mission visited cattle farms, slaughterhouses, markets and held discussions with farmers, investors and provincial officials. Key activities included visiting a Japanese-owned cattle farm, proposed sites for a new slaughterhouse, an existing slaughterhouse, livestock markets, and meeting with cattle farmer groups and traders to understand business models and market systems. The goal was to gather information to help analyze the market structure and identify appropriate interventions to increase incomes for smallholder farmers involved in the project.
The document describes two models of cattle fattening in Laos - in shelters and in pastures. The shelter model involves cutting and carrying improved forages to feed cattle over 3-6 months. Each family can fatten 3-5 heads per year. The pasture model utilizes 10-15 hectares of improved forage areas to fatten cattle over 6 months with less labor. Both models aim to increase cattle weight and profit from sales but the pasture model has challenges with animal health if vaccines and deworming are not regularly applied. The document provides details on market analysis, investment needs, technologies used, and flexibility to climate change for each model.

This document summarizes a survey of rice and vegetable production in 5 provinces of Laos. It identifies potential sub-projects to improve irrigation infrastructure for rice farming and vegetable production, upgrade rural access roads, and strengthen farmers groups. The survey assessed the current state of rice mills, seed production centers, and farmer cooperatives, and proposed feasibility studies for upgrading irrigation systems, rural roads and developing collection and marketing hubs to strengthen agricultural value chains under the Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains Sector project.
The document summarizes field visits conducted in 6 provinces of Laos to assess rice and vegetable value chains for a potential climate-friendly agribusiness project. Key findings include: 1) Rice and vegetables were selected as priority crops due to their importance in Laos and potential for market integration. 2) The visits engaged with farmers, companies, and officials to identify sub-projects aligning with Laos' agricultural goals. 3) Preliminary sub-projects were developed for each province focusing on irrigation, post-harvest facilities, and farmer groups to improve climate resilience and market access.
The document summarizes the selection of priority value chains for a climate-friendly agribusiness project in Lao PDR. Rice and vegetables were selected based on 14 criteria in two categories: farmer inclusion/sustainability and value chain structure. For rice, strengths included potential outreach to farmers, increased incomes, and alignment with government priorities. Weaknesses included environmental impacts of production methods. For vegetables, strengths were income potential from domestic and export markets and social inclusion of women. The analysis found potential to improve post-harvest handling and market access for both commodities.

3. Project Implementation Manual (PIM)
• LPMGs makes production plans (in order to
access the ADB grants under Component 2),
and Households makes business plans (in
order to apply for IFAD loans under
Component 3)
7. Goals
• Help disseminate improved livestock
commercialization technologies through use
of business plans.
• Understand how to make a business plan so
that GST can help LPMGs.
• Determine how GST can use of business plans
to scale out technologies in beef sector of Lao
PDR.
9. Perspectives
• Since the LPMGs are going to start a new
business (1 out of 7 models of NAFRI).
• The LPMGs must attract other investors and/or
providers of capital (e.g., loan) to get their
business started.
• The LPMGs need to present a business plan to
convince others to take the financial risk.
13. What is a business plan?
• A very useful planning tool.
• A way to attract capital from investors
and banks.
• Creates excitement and interest in a
value-creating opportunity in beef
sector of Lao PDR.
14. Why is a Business Plan
important?
• Helps the LPMGs organize and think about
critical aspects for a new business.
• Allows to the LPMGs to allocate resources
most efficiently to achieve their goals.
• Provides a clear and effective way to
communicate their business to investors,
banks, employees, and customers.
16. Components of a Business Plan

2. Company Description
3. Products and Services
4. Marketing Plan

18. Group Support Team

• Decide what you will offer (e.g., cattle fattening
in shelter or pasture, exotic pigs fattening,
Cross-bred sow product of piglets for sale, etc.).
• Choose a name for your company.
YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES!
20. Livestock commercialization solutions
(Extract from 7 models developed by NAFRI)
• Improving feed quantity. To ensure that the animals are receiving enough to
grow quickly, a more efficient way to fatten is to feed ad libitum. This means
you are providing your animals free access to feed and water allowing them to
eat when they need to eat not when you think they need to eat.
• Improving feed quality. For good growth, animals need to eat young, leafy
grass. We have to find the right balance between forage yield and forage
quality.
But even young, leafy grass does not contain enough protein to ensure
maximum growth. Adding a small amount (like 10-20% legume or another
protein source) to a grass-based diet can double the growth rates of cattle and
buffalo.
• Providing water is a very important component in animal production. Cattle
and buffalo need water to digest feed efficiently. If they don’t have water
available at all times, they eat less feed than is needed for good growth.
• Improving health. Understand what disease and other health problems affect
your animals and when and how they come. Develop a strategic vaccination
and de-worming program.
• Weighing. Farmers need to better appreciate the weight of their animals to
determine their progress. Regular weighing of animals ensures that they are
putting on weight and growth weight targets are being met.
• Recording. Recording events is an important management tool to record live
weight, buying and selling dates and prices, feed rations, vaccination,
deworming dates and other animal health issues, visits and recommendations
from District staff, vets and traders, and other relevant issues.
• Improving Pens and Utilities. Ensure a comfortable environment for the
animals, provide adequately sized feed and water troughs to prevent spillage
and wastage. Improve manure management.
A technical fact sheet entitled “Simple Steps to Improve Existing Livestock
Production Practices” is on file.
22. Course Assignment - Objectives

technology of livestock commercialization (7

can you do to address this?
• How can you use this business plan guide in your
own LPMGs to address beef sector needs?
24. 1. Executive Summary
• Keep it short and concise.
• Make it enthusiastic and attractive (so people will
want to know more).
• If you are seeking capital, indicate clearly how much
you want, how the money will be used to make your
business more profitable, and how it will be paid
back (bank) or provide a return (investor).
