Small companies and informal trade plays an important role in East African agriculture but are typically out of view. This study examines patterns of and incentives for private sector investments and activities in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in East Africa. Building capacity of private sector entities and improving their coordination with the public sector so that smallholders are not excluded may be key to facilitating the scaling up of agricultural innovations that improve food security for smallholders grappling with a changing climate (Jayne et al.
2006; Gyau, 2015).

1. Introduction
• Major changes happening in food markets worldwide and
especially in developing countries:
- Supermarket revolution
- Share of high-value crops increasing
- Quality demands on the rise
- Food safety requirement export countries
- Vertical integration
- Up-scaling, dis-intermediation, and branding
• No clear to what extent value chains are transforming in
Africa and/or Ethiopia, often because of a lack of good
primary data. This is the purpose of the analysis.
4. 4
2. Background Teff in Ethiopia
• Teff (Eragrostis tef) is major staple food in Ethiopia.
• Research on improved teff varieties since the mid-50s,
only a small number of improved varieties have been
released (20 in total)
• Teff used to prepare enjera; also valued for its fine straw,
used for animal feed, as well as mixed with mud for
building purposes.
• Quality in teff market mostly related to the color of the
grain: magna, white, mixed, and red.
• Other factors matter as well such as origin. However, more
difficult to measure objectively.
5. 5
2. Background Teff in Ethiopia
• Teff is a major crop in Ethiopia:
- 20% of all cultivated area, covering 2.7 million hectares
and grown by 6.3 million farmers (second most important
crop is maize with 15% of cultivated area)
- Given relatively low yields, total national production (3.5
million tons) in quantity is lower than maize and sorghum.
- Value of production in 2011/12 was 1.6 billion USD, the
most important crop in the country.
- Value of commercial surplus (CS) 2011/12: 464 million
USD, as important as sorghum, maize, and wheat
combined; one-quarter less than coffee (600 million USD)
6. 6
2. Background Teff in Ethiopia
• Consumption of teff in Ethiopia:
- Urban areas: 61 kgs per capita
- Rural areas: 20 kgs per capita
- Income elasticity of teff 1.1 for urban areas and 1.2 for
rural areas; teff is an economically superior good
- Teff has prices on average double the price of the cheapest
cereal (maize)
7. • Purpose of the study is to understand major value chains
from rural producers in major production zones to Addis,
the major city in the country.
• Organization of surveys: 1/ Interviews with key informants
September – October 2012; 2/ Fielding of surveys in
November – December 2012.
• Surveys with producers and communities upstream; rural
and urban wholesalers and truckers midstream; cereal
shops, mills, and cooperative retail downstream
3. Data and methodology
8. • Stratified random samples at each level:
1. Upstream: 1,200 farmers in five major teff production
zones. These five zones represent 38% of national teff area
and 42% of the commercial surplus.
2. Midstream: 200 rural wholesalers (that ship teff to Addis);
75 urban wholesalers (2/3th on Ashwa Meda; 1/3rd on Ehil
Beranda); 90 truck drivers
3. Downstream: 282 retail outlets (83% mills; 10% cereal
shops; 7% consumer cooperatives)

Mixed teff share (%) 60 31.8 21.6
White teff share (%) 60 26.5 40.2
Magna teff share (%) 60 7.7 24.3
12. • Reasons for the decline of red teff:
1. Lower prices of red teff compared to white teff. Higher
prices of white teff driven by: a. lower conversion ratios
of red teff to enjeras; b. longer shelf life for white enjeras;
c. preference of consumers
2. Higher productivity of white teff now because of
availability of improved varieties; traditionally red teff
would do better compared to white teff
4. Teff upstream in the value chain
13. • Quick adoption of modern inputs
• Rapid take-off of quncho (DZ-Cr-387)
- 32% of teff producres ever used quncho; 24% used it in
the Meher of 2011/2012
- Number of years since household uses quncho is 2
- For users, 84% of white teff area is allocated to quncho
• Mentioned advantages of quncho: a. Higher yields;
b. Lower seed rates needed; c. Better price; d. More
fodder; e. Less lodging
4. Teff upstream in the value chain
14. • 93% of teff farmers use chemical fertilizer; 34% uses
improved seeds
• Stated reasons for not using or for not using enough
modern inputs:
1. Chemical fertilizer: Lack of money at the time of need
2. Improved teff seeds: Unable to find them or unable to
find more

18. • Multi-regression framework where we control for
characteristics of the plot as well as characteristics of the
household; calculate APE (Average Partial Effect of
distances):
1. Doubling of the transport costs to Addis: a. Reduction of
fertilizer use of 38 kg per ha; b. Share of area planted with
quncho declines by 17%
2. Doubling of distance to cooperative unions: a. Reduction
of fertilizer use of 13 kg per ha; b. Share of area planted with
quncho declines by 3%
Results double-hurdle regressions
19. • Cobb-Douglas production function; use fixed and random
effect models (control for household specific effects):
1. Chemical fertilizer: Additional kg of DAP increases teff
production by 2 kgs; additional kg of urea increases teff
production by 2-5 kgs. Value-cost ratios (VCRs) are
between 2.2 and 4.5.
2. Quncho seeds: Quncho seeds have 10% higher production
than traditional seeds or other improved seeds.
Modern inputs and teff productivity
20. • Teff retailing in Addis: 61% mills; 29% cereal shops; and
8% consumer cooperatives
• Traditionally (as seen in other towns or rural areas), mills
only did milling and household typically would:
a/ buy teff on market/cereal shop;
b/ clean teff at home;
c/ take teff to mill;
d/ prepare enjera at home

- Less complaints about fertilizer delivery
- Investment in R&D. Limited in the teff sector
- However, large investments in extension system

35. 3. Urbanization (1.2 million more people in Addis), income
growth and economic superior characteristics of teff
(doubling of income, 110% increase in teff consumption
expenditure); these factors combined might have led to
doubling of commercial surplus into Addis in last 10 years
4. Higher opportunity costs of time, especially of women;
further impetus for foodservice industry as well as for
development of a different retail sector
7. Drivers for change
36. 36
8. Conclusions
Important changes in the teff value chain:
1. Modern inputs increasingly adopted, especially by these
farmers living close to urban areas
2. Quality demands are on the rise, important shifts from
cheap red varieties to more expensive white ones
3. Increasing willingness to pay for convenience in urban
areas, as illustrated by the emergence of one-stop shops
as well as by a sizable foodservice sector
4. The share of rural-urban marketing, urban
distribution, and milling margins is declining, indicating
improved marketing efficiency
37. 37
8. Conclusions
Despite changes, still in early stage of agricultural
transformation:
1. Upstream:
a/ Adoption of improved varieties still low
b/ Fertilizer used is below recommended level
c/ Mechanization absent
d/ Vertical integration and coordination absent
2. Downstream:
a/ Little evidence of up-scaling
b/ Small share of modern retail
c/ Almost no branding
38. 38
8. Implications
1. Despite quncho take-off, major room for improved seed
development:
a. lodging resistant varieties, more attention to taste
preferences (quncho suffers from drying out disadvantage),
disease and pest resistant varieties.
b. More sophisticated techniques of breeding
2. Better knowledge on other technologies to improve teff
productivity needed, i.e. row planting, transplanting,
response to fertilizers that contain zinc and copper, minimal
tillage
39. 39
8. Implications
3. Overall, investments for R&D not at appropriate levels
given importance of teff (e.g. total budget ag. R&D 70 million
USD in 2008). For example, rate of return to quncho
development enormous:
Assumptions
- 10 % higher yield 160million USD per year
- 50% of teff farmers adopt 80million USD per year
