2. Value chain assessment framework – all crops and programs
2
1 For crops includes soil fertilityand soil health (organicand inorganic fertilizers), crop management (herbicides), weed and pest
management (insecticides), mechanizationand water management; for livestock includes feed, water and production equipment (e.g., housing,
waterers)

SELECTED EXAMPLES

10. ICPL 88034 MZ 2/9

11. LFD- User friendly diagnostic device
Aflatoxin detection at
field level is crucial to
reduce the
contamination in
value chain.
Antibody reacts with aflatoxin antigen giving
coloured reaction. This is simple to perform, cost
effective (<2$), less time consuming (<5 min) and
accurate

Results on Validation of LFD
Lateral flow
immunoassay
Number and % of samples tested for AFB1 in ELISA
Positive (above
20 ppb of AFB1)
Negative (below
20 ppb of AFB1)
Total
Positive (above
20 ppb of AFB1)
25 (50.00 %) 0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %)
Negative (below
20 ppb of AFB1)
0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %)
Total 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 50 (100.00%)
The figure in parentheses were computed based on the visual scoring of lateral
flow device and quantitative data obtained for ELISA after calculation. The
sensitivity of lateral flow device for AFB1 above 20 ppb in samples are 100 %; the
specificity is also 100 %. The positive predictive value is 100 %. The negative
predictive value is 100 %.

ELISA for detecting above 20 ppb of aflatoxin in groundnut samples
