Global markets, local value chains, production systems, and livelihoods of ca...Jonathan Newby
Throughout mainland Southeast Asia, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has become an important smallholder crop grown by millions of upland farmers. During the last decade, the area of cultivation has expanded rapidly to meet the growing global demand for carbohydrates in various applications. This includes a continuing expansion of both production and processing in Lao PDR. To help demystify the recent trends in the cassava market, we first highlight the connections between the cassava market and other global commodity markets. This demonstrates the need to understand global and regional value chains beyond the local context in which production and primary processing take place.
Research has generated an abundance of technologies that could enhance the productivity and sustainability of these cassava producers. Many of these have been developed with farmers using participatory evaluation methods. The challenge has been disseminating these technologies beyond a projects sphere of influence with adoption levels remaining very low. We hypothesise that, in particular contexts, private-sector value-chain actors have incentives to invest in the promotion of suitable varieties, fertiliser regimes, pest control, and other production practices. In other contexts, there is little incentive for private-sector involvement; and support and/or partnerships from public-sector or non-government actors will be required. As such, understanding the local production and value chain context is also critical to developing sustainable cassava value chains. We use agronomic trial results and value chain mapping to demonstrate the incentives for different cassava sector actor to work with smallholders to maintain and enhance their productivity in different production and market contexts.
Finally, we outline the future challenges facing smallholder farmers and other actors in the cassava sector. Previous research to understand global markets, value chains, production systems, and livelihoods will be critical inputs into the development and extension of new manage management practices and technical solutions to control the impacts of emerging cassava diseases in the region.

The World Bank under request by Supreme National Economic Council (SNEC) and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) commissioned a diagnostics study to answer questions about possible directions of transformation of Cambodia agriculture over the coming decades, and its implication on farm incomes. The proposed diagnostics combines the analysis of the change of farming systems in Cambodia over the past decade with the review of agricultural development experiences in the region to develop agriculture development scenarios until 2030. Agrifood Consulting International Inc (ACI) was selected to implement the Study.
In order to address these questions, the Study Team combined the analysis of existing secondary data with primary data from a survey conducted in the same villages where a similar investigation was conducted ten years ago. The Team then built and analyzed different scenarios of future growth.
The key two messages of the study are:
a. Past drivers of growth will not be suitable for sustained growth in the future
b. Two new drivers are required including
(i) total factor productivity growth (TFP);
(ii) agribusiness development.

African countries have diversified both their exports and trade partners over the last decade, African agricultural trade still suffers from structural problems as well as exogenous shocks. Against this backdrop, the 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) analyzes continental and regional trends in African agricultural trade flows and policies. The report finds that many African countries continue to enjoy the most success in global markets with cash crops and niche products. At the intra-African level, countries are becoming more interconnected in trade of key commodities, but there remain many potential but unexploited trade relationships. The report examines the livestock sector in detail, finding that despite its important role in Africa, the sector is concentrated in low value- added products that are informally traded. The report also examines trade integration in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), which remains limited due to factors including tariffs, nontariff measures, poor transport infrastructure, and weak institutions. Finally, the report discusses the implications of two major events affecting African trade in 2020 and 2021: the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Pearl millet commercialization has the potential to support the food insecure rural households residing in marginal areas of Kenya. Despite the numerous program attempts in improving its productivity and market potential within Mbeere district, thousands are still food insecure. Poor coordination, overcrowding of actors activities and limited marketing opportunities has resulted in weak market value chains and underdeveloped output markets which have diluted commercialization initiatives. This study examined the performance and efficiency of pearl millet market value chain in order to improve its competitiveness and productivity for the benefit of the farming communities in ASALs of Kenya. Specifically, this study analyzed the existing pearl millet market value chain and its efficiency, identified traders key marketing constraints and determined consumers’ willingness to pay for value added pearl millet products. A multistage sampling technique was used to collect information from 255 market actors using a semi structured questionnaire and analysis done using descriptive statistics, marketing margin analysis and Contingent valuation methodology. Result showed that majority of the actors had a mean age between 42- 52 years. Most producers (62.5%) were males while females (100%) concentrated in pearl millet marketing activities. Empirical findings showed that, producers share of the final consumer price was 23.3% with processors having a higher margin compared to traders and producers despite their limited functions. Transport cost, police bribes, border taxes, rent and commission charges formed major components of marketing costs. Most consumers (60%) were willing to pay a premium price of 42% above the normal market price of Kshs 100 for value added pearl millet products. Age, number of children below 12 years in a household, gender of household head, income and awareness were important factors that positively influenced consumers WTP premium prices.

Regional Agricultural Policy:What Lessons for Africa’s CAADP from Europe’s C...Stephanie van der Walt
In 2003, the Assembly of the African Union (AU) adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) aimed at kick-starting agricultural-sector growth in all member states. While coordination takes place at the pan-African level, CAADP’s implementation is driven by parallel regional and national processes that essentially subject the Programme’s aims to pre-existing institutional and regulatory frameworks within these jurisdictions -- an approach which has historically contributed to the slow rate of integration on the continent.
In the wake of the Second World War, the founding members of the European Community (EC) responded to low agricultural outputs and widespread hunger, as faced in Africa today, by incorporating the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) into the EC’s treaty framework from the very onset.
While the CAP’s original function (i.e. to facilitate government-subsidised production) is quite different from that of CAADP (i.e. to promote agricultural investment, policy coherence and increased regional trade) its stated outcomes, namely food security, improved agricultural productivity and competitive rural incomes, are quite closely aligned. This presentation provides an overview of food insecurity in Africa currently and how the enforceablility of regional strategies have contributed to alleviating problems of production and trade barriers, with an emphasis on the European experience.

Summary
1. African livestock markets are growing fast: they are as
attractive as, if not more attractive than livestock markets
in other world regions
2. Milk, beef and poultry markets will provide major business
opportunities, which differ by geographical region
3. On paper, all types of livestock producers could be efficient
and tap into growing market opportunities: but do all of
them – and in particular the smallholders – have enough
incentives to invest in livestock?
4. Policies and instititional reforms are ky to ensure that
markets are utilized to promote an efficient and equitable
growth of livestock

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Role of livestock in the economy
• Over 60% of population depend on livestock for their livelihoods
• Key source of employment
• Export value: Over 200 mil USD/yr
Historical trading relations with the EU
• Lome-Cotonou agreement: non-reciprocal preferential trade
• Current policy reforms: Economic partnership agreement (EPA)
Mixed success stories
Namibia
• Among the top ten beef exporters to the EU & penetrated high-end retail market
• Exported beef to the EU for the last 20 years. But holds only 3% market share
• Disease status (N. Namibia): limits greater participation of small livestock producers
Botswana
• Inconsistent supply due to export bans: FMD disease challenge
• Focused primarily on the EU market: neglecting regional & domestic market opportunities
• Financial losses by key beef exporter 9
10. Southern Africa: Lessons from Namibia
1. Smart branding & marketing: shift from selling a commodity to selling attributes
• Sells individual meat cuts to specific end market requirements: move up the value chain
• Branding: sells certified free-range high quality meat to Niche markets (e.g. Woolworth)
• Premium high quality cuts sold in overseas international markets: EU & Norway
- Norway: Sales volume: 5% But 15% of total sales revenue
- EU: Sales volume: 27% But 45% of total sales revenue
- Income returns of exports to EU: 40% higher per head of cattle
• Meatco revenue (2012): N$ 1.4 billion: primarily due to value addition and branding

2. Credible cattle traceability system: FANMEAT certification
• Costly but signals compliance with international SPS standards & EU requirements
• Challenge: Strict EU standards/requirements – change frequently
- Example: New EU ’’residency requirement’’ regulation
3. Policy and private sector engagement
• Trade policy allows live animal exports: small farmers respond to higher weaner prices
• Weaner production system is more profitable for small livestock farmers. But it
constraints animal supply to domestic abattoirs
• Ekwatho finance project: links livestock producers to the market and to add value
o Partnership: producers, banks and abattoirs
o Heads of cattle slaughtered: 13,000 (2012) and 11, 057 (2011)
o N$ 110, million loaned to producers w/zero default
o Target resettled small emerging livestock producers
11
12. Southern Africa: Lessons from Botswana
1. Market structure in a value chain matters: Monopsony (Botswana meat commission)
• BMC controls exports as a sole buyer and seller: little competition & low producer prices
• Operates below capacity: not profitable: Ave. losses of 33 mil. USD (2009-2011)
• Subsidized by the govt. currently undergoing reforms to revive sales and profitability
2. Weak traceability system & veterinary service provision: inconsistent supplier
• Inefficient traceability system: farmers report operational and misidentification problems
• Veterinary service delivery: not timely and FDM surveillance adds burden vet. officers’ service
• High transaction costs in marketing livestock
3. Trade policy hinders regional trade
• Trade: restricts farmers to sell live animals including small stocks into regional markets
• Livestock producers unable to take advantage of increasing weaner prices (e.g. SA market)
• Heavy focus the EU market: neglecting local and regional market opportunities

13. Botswana and Namibia: role of small livestock producersBotswana and Namibia: role of small livestock producers
1. Small producers can supply high-value livestock product markets: participation is low
- Costs of moving to a weaner-ox production system are high (e.g. feed costs)
- Animal disease and animal welfare requirements: challenge & locks out many suppliers
- The lingering land question: insufficient grazing land
2. How to increase greater smallholder market participation?
- Market diversification: market segmentation targeting regional & domestic markets
- Public private partnerships: finance mechanisms to overcome capital constraints faced
by small livestock producers and other value chain actors
- Coordination: to achieve economies of scale
- Diversity of smallholder livestock farmers: degree of market orientation
3. Costs of standards & compliance: should it all be borne by the farmer?
- Public good in ensuring safety in food supply chain and public health
- Need for appropriate mechanism to share costs of meeting food safety standards

15. Strong local and regional demand : highest estimated growth in Africa
• Removal of tariffs within the EAC region: doubled dairy trade to 11% (2005) vs. 5% (1995)

18. Opportunities
High growth in domestic and regional demand of animal-sourced foods
Increasing global meat product prices
Inclusive livestock sector growth strategy: yields greater benefits for society at large
Challenges
Low competitiveness and productivity (rising feed costs)
High costs of compliance: SPS requirements in high value markets
NTBs and high transport costs in regional markets
Export of lower quality livestock products and by-products into African markets
- 5th quarter cuts from the UK are targeted to West and Central Africa
- EU low quality poultry cuts exports to African markets
- Attractively priced: EU CAP direct payments and investment aid keep EU raw material
prices low

19. Way forward
1. Lower NTBs and improve regional integration: key to foster intra-regional
trade and investment
• Development of intra-regional markets & trade: necessary to support livestock
sector growth
• High NTBs and transport costs key obstacles to intra-regional investment
• Improve dialogue and capacity related to SPS standards issues
3. Improve productivity & competitiveness: productivity is required to
respond to the growing demand
• Identify and scale out appropriate technologies to address production constraints
• Lower the cost of technology transfer and improve service delivery (e.g. animal
disease vaccine delivery)
• Improve risk mitigating and coping strategies
19
20. Way forward
4. Create smart linkages between private service providers and VC actors
• Reduce risk and address binding constraints faced by VC actors
• Enhance economies of scale for producers and other value chain actors
• Target small livestock producers: dominate in many countries,
But different type of support for different types (small) livestock producers
5. Invest in livestock data
• Enhance information flow on market conditions and planning
• Gain accurate picture about markets: consumption and animal resource base
• Improve data collection systems and analytical capacity
6. Trade agreements: EU-EPA trade agreement and others
• Need for informed and smart negotiation strategies
• Take a long-term perspective and retain some agric. safeguard measures
