The document summarizes IPMS's experience introducing banana cultivation to smallholder farmers in Metema, Ethiopia. Initial interventions included introducing a high-yielding banana variety, training farmers, and organizing women's and youth groups. Follow-up found farmers expanding production and a market emerging. Actions were taken to improve productivity, develop marketing groups, and address challenges like disease and transportation. Currently banana is widely grown, though road infrastructure and collective action are still needed to better access larger markets. The experience shows that resource-based, participatory approaches integrating market orientation can effectively promote smallholder development.

The document proposes a new model to increase agricultural productivity in India state-wise. It outlines challenges like inadequate adoption of modern practices, inefficient storage leading to 40% spoilage, over-reliance on groundwater, and financial exclusion of small farmers. The model's objectives are sustainable rural growth, world-class supply chain infrastructure to reduce waste, and promoting small to large agro-industries. The approach includes a new agricultural organization at state, district, and sub-district levels to partner with the private sector, develop irrigation and food parks, provide farmers assistance, and manage exports.

Value chains selection criteria

phetsoulaphonh choulatida

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.

Reducing postharvest losses and promoting product differentiationin the cooki...

Véronique Durroux-Malpartida

Cooking banana is the main staple crop in Uganda, accounting for 65% of food and 35% of income for smallholders. However, post-harvest losses range from 3-40% due to poor handling, transportation, and pricing issues. This business case proposes reducing these losses and improving marketing through upgrading storage, transport, adopting varieties with longer shelf life, establishing a weight-based pricing system, and staggering production to smooth supply. A cost-benefit analysis found the interventions to be economically viable. The goal is to increase smallholder incomes and supply of cooking bananas in Uganda by 15% and 10% over 10 years.

Tea in Kenya

Oxfam GB

This document discusses tea production in Kenya through two main procurement models - plantations and the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA). The KTDA model involves over 560,000 smallholder farmers who supply green tea leaves to buying centers, which are then processed at factories and sold primarily through Mombasa auctions. Key factors in the success of the KTDA model include high returns provided to farmers, timely payments, transparency, and services around inputs and training. Unilever procures tea through both the auction and direct sales, and supports farmer training and certification through KTDA to improve yields, quality, and sustainability of tea production in Kenya.

International Water Management Institute (IWMI)

The document summarizes an IPMS project in Ethiopia that aimed to improve agricultural production and water utilization through participatory value chain development of high-value crops like banana, onion, and potato in 3 districts. The approach introduced new varieties, farming techniques, input supply systems, and market linkages. It resulted in more land and farmers engaged in these crops, increased incomes, and more efficient water use. However, challenges remain around institutional capacity and ensuring sustainable water use and marketing systems.

This document summarizes the Fresh & Local in Philly Schools program, which aims to bring local food to schools in Philadelphia. It involved collaboration between various organizations to source produce from local farms for school meals. In a pilot at 5 high schools, about $15,000 of local produce was purchased by year's end. The program looks to expand to 20 schools while continuing to address challenges of minimum orders, recipe development, and securing long-term funding.

Reservoir Food Drying

Cheetah Development

This document proposes a solution to global hunger by implementing solar food drying and establishing entrepreneurial opportunities for rural communities. The solution involves: 1) Training and supplying rural communities, especially women, in food processing and preservation techniques using solar dryers costing under $300. 2) Establishing a franchise model to distribute the dryers and supplies through local shops owned by entrepreneurs. 3) Financing the purchase of dryers and facilitating the sale of dried foods to generate income for rural families.

Nutrition assessment 2021

africa-rising

The document summarizes the results of a nutrition assessment study and lessons learned from it. The study aimed to identify how Africa RISING interventions contributed to household nutrition. It used a qualitative research approach with key informant interviews and focus group discussions in Ethiopia. The results showed that the interventions helped to produce and consume a more diverse and nutritious diet, generate income, and improve knowledge of food production and preparation. However, diet diversity remained low and certain nutrient-rich foods were still limited. Key lessons were that technical nutrition support needs frequent follow-ups, and engaging community leaders and husbands is important for influencing mothers' nutrition practices.

Agri supply chain

Divya Chhabra

The document discusses the prospects and challenges of the agricultural supply chain in India. It outlines problems in the current supply chain such as poor infrastructure, lack of adequate warehousing and cold storage facilities, and access to finance for farmers. It then discusses opportunities to improve the supply chain through public-private partnerships for warehousing, expanding cold storage, strengthening information systems, and enabling farmers. The document also compares food supply chains to more sustainable value chains and provides case studies of different models linking farmers to markets.

Reservoir Food Drying (March 2014)

Cheetah Development

The document discusses food insecurity issues in parts of Africa and proposes a solution involving food drying microbusinesses. Key points: - Half of people in some African nations experience chronic malnutrition due to seasonal food availability issues and lack of preservation technologies. - The solution proposes distributing affordable locally-made food dryers through a franchise model to entrepreneurial women and families. This would help preserve foods from wet seasons for later consumption and generate income. - The dryers are designed to be low-cost, locally-maintained, and run without electricity for sustainability in rural areas. Franchise shops would sell supplies and provide training on food processing and preservation.

The Future of Farmers Markets

Galena Ojiem

This document summarizes a presentation about the future role of farmers' markets in expanding the local food movement. It provides an overview of national farmers' market statistics and changing consumer preferences. While farmers' markets have grown rapidly, some data shows a slowing in new market growth. Barriers include markets being labor-intensive and not very profitable. Potential drivers of future demand include expanded nutrition assistance programs at markets, USDA local food initiatives, and growing numbers of winter markets and markets at healthcare facilities. Farmers' markets will continue playing an important role in providing entry points for small farms, though their role may evolve as producers access larger wholesale channels.

The need for sustainable forage seed system

africa-rising

The document discusses the need for a sustainable forage seed system in Ethiopia. It notes that shortages of feed are constraining livestock productivity, and that forages are an important input but the forage seed sector has lacked attention. It examines the informal and formal seed systems currently in place and their advantages and disadvantages. It proposes activities to strengthen both systems, including identifying farmers to produce seed informally and cooperatively at first before transitioning some to the formal system. Key actors in the seed system are identified along with best-bet forage species. The ILRI FeedSeed project experience of different seed production and marketing models is discussed.

Emanual Van Wyk

This document discusses sustainable production of African indigenous vegetables to create more resilient food production systems for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. It focuses on vegetables like amaranth, African nightshade, spiderplant, African kale, cowpea leaves, and African eggplant. These indigenous crops require lower inputs, are adapted to local conditions, and can improve nutrition, health, and income. The document argues that strengthening African Indigenous Vegetables by improving production, postharvest handling, distribution, and consumer acceptance can provide opportunities for smallholders in the supply chain. Focus is needed on improved genetic materials, production and postharvest systems, and marketing to drive demand while creating awareness of nutritional benefits.

East Africa Dairy Development

The document summarizes the East Africa Dairy Development Project, which aims to double incomes for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. It does this through a hub model where chilling plants are transformed into business hubs. The hubs provide a one-stop shop for farmers, allowing them to access services, inputs, and reliable markets through milk collection and sales to processors. Examples show hubs collecting over 70,000 liters of milk daily from over 13,000 farmers, generating $6.3 million annually in sales. Success requires commitment from farmers, government, and collaboration along the supply chain. Partners are now being sought to scale up the project further.
