Round Table 4 - “Local Purchases in the African Continent, challenges and perspectives for international cooperation initiatives”, July 03 2012, Brasília.
The document discusses innovations in food commodities and partnering with the private sector. It identifies goals of integrating commodity reporting to ensure correct quantities are delivered and avoid stock outs. It also reviews current trends in local food production, alternative food formats, and engaging the private sector for sustainable retail production. Specific examples from programs in Zambia and Bangladesh are provided on local food procurement. The document also discusses traditional and alternative supplemental food formats, attributes of ideal formulations, and examples of engaging private sector partners and using voucher systems.
The document discusses lessons learned from CA-SARD projects in Eastern Africa and ideas for expanding conservation agriculture practices going forward. It identifies challenges around equipment access, engaging the private sector in input supply, strengthening farmer field schools, addressing livestock issues, and mainstreaming CA approaches. The document proposes a second project phase with greater focus on strengthening the input supply chain, local equipment manufacturing, research partnerships, and private sector involvement to promote the wider adoption of profitable CA practices in the region.
The document summarizes a case study of the Competitiveness of the African Cotton Initiative (COMPACI) /Cotton Made in Africa (CMiA) program implemented by Cargill Cotton Zambia to improve the livelihoods of rural small-scale cotton farmers through innovative extension services. Some key points:
- COMPACI/CMiA adopted a demand-driven, market-oriented extension approach using farmer field schools and input credit to increase yields, quality, and incomes for over 26,000 cotton farmers in Zambia.
- Successes included higher yields, increased incomes, women's empowerment, and community development projects. Challenges included high input costs, price

6 to 8 August 2014. Yaounde. Regional consultation between farmers organisations, and research actors in Central Africa: "Agricultural Research for development and capacity building of stakeholders."
Organized by the Sub-Regional Platform of Farmers Organizations of Central Africa (PROPAC) the workshop included thirty participants from producer organizations, national institutes and regional research centers, ministries, RECs (CEMAC and ECCAS).
This document discusses the shift from production-led extension to market-led extension in agriculture. It notes that while production-led extension focused on increasing productivity, farmers were not realizing remunerative prices for their produce. Market-led extension aims to build farmers' capacity to earn higher returns by focusing on market strategies and linkages. The roles of extension would expand beyond production advice to include market information, quality guidelines, and business training to help farmers access markets. Challenges include the small size and scattered nature of markets as well as the influence of intermediaries. Training programs and collective action are suggested to help farmers and extension workers develop new skills and approaches for market-led extension.
This document provides an overview of supply chain management in the agriculture sector in India. It discusses the components of an agricultural supply chain including procurement, logistics, organizational management, and application of efficient consumer response systems. It describes the advantages for supply chain members in coordinating activities to increase profitability. Common problems in Indian agri supply chains include fragmented systems, lack of infrastructure and processing, and high wastage. More coordinated supply chains are emerging to meet export and domestic market demands. Case studies show models where organized retailers, exporters, and processors directly source from farmers through contract farming and collection centers to integrate the supply chain.

This document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agricultural development in Africa. It notes that PPPs can help increase productivity but challenges remain in ensuring small farmers benefit, such as equitable access to technologies and markets. The roles of the private sector are changing as it encompasses many services like inputs, markets, and financing. Balancing intellectual property rights with farmers' rights is important. Overall, PPPs must truly understand development objectives and find ways to empower smallholders and women farmers to participate in and benefit from agricultural innovation.
A presentation by Stephen Muchiri, from Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF) and CEO of e-Granary, about a commercial digital platform linking smallholder farmers in East Africa to targeted services.
The e-Granary platform, an ambitious venture initiated by the EAFF is in its relatively early days serving producers in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. It aims to strengthen their position with other actors such as buyers, input traders and financial institutions, and it has generated many lessons and challenges to overcome.
The presentation was given at a webinar on using technology to increase market and finance access for smallholders hosted by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) on 24 March 2020.

AFGEAN aims to make horticulture sustainable and an income generating sector in Nigeria by challenging norms and improving practices. Its future is to be a private standard body for fresh produce regulation backed by law. Currently, AFGEAN focuses on advocacy, public-private partnerships, market information dissemination, organizing events, developing standards, training stakeholders, and partnering with research organizations. It was established in 2011 as a non-profit organization to promote investment in horticulture. In 2018, it planned to set up an online group for free trade discussions, establish farmers markets in Lagos, and create a methodology to physically move produce from farms to markets with simultaneous payment from markets to farms.
This document provides an overview of research projects focused on improving livelihoods through increased access to agricultural markets in Africa. It summarizes the expected outcomes of improving market access, including increased commercialization and incomes for farmers. It also describes examples from various countries that demonstrate the impacts of market access interventions. Key lessons highlighted include the importance of product branding, market information systems, forward contracting, agricultural marketing platforms, access to credit, strengthening farmer groups, and linkages to regional trade blocs to improve livelihoods through sustainable market access.
The document proposes a strategy to help banana farmers in Africa increase their welfare through forming a cooperative. The strategy involves (1) organizing farmers into cooperative societies to bargain collectively, (2) establishing sales channels to sell directly to retailers and buyers to disintermediate wholesalers, and (3) expanding across the value chain by processing bananas into products and selling directly to consumers. This is intended to empower farmers, better match supply and demand, and provide economic freedom and improved livelihoods.
The document discusses horticulture farming and small scale farmers in Kenya. It describes how horticulture provides labor opportunities for rural communities and how small plots are suitable for vegetable production. However, smallholder farmers face challenges such as poverty, inconsistent quality/quantities, and high production costs. The document suggests mechanisms for scaling up smallholder farming, including public-private partnerships for training, certification programs, technology assistance, and improved infrastructure for transportation and storage.

This document discusses the historical context of agricultural development in India and the need for a new paradigm. It outlines some of the key issues with the previous system such as declining growth rates, falling water tables, and increased dependence on imports. A new framework is proposed that is driven by market demand and links research, farmers, and the private sector. The Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) model is presented as a way to decentralize extension and diversify agriculture in a market-driven way. Some of the key elements of the ATMA model include organizing farmers groups, linking farmers to new markets through contract farming, and taking a bottom-up approach to extension planning. The document analyzes data that shows how the ATMA model has
SUSTAINABLE COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
Cooperatives play an important role in economic development of many countries across the continent.
In Kenya, cooperatives are controlling about 43% of GDP and 31% of national savings and deposits. They have 70% of the coffee market, 76% dairy, 90% pyrethrum, and 95% of cotton.
In Benin, FECECAM (Faitiere des caisses deparge et de credit agricole mutuel), a savings and credit cooperative federation, provided USD 16 million in rural loans in 2002.
In Côte d'Ivoire cooperatives invested USD 26 million for setting up schools, building rural roads and establishing maternal clinics.
In Kenya, over 300,000 people are directly employed by co-operatives
Globally, cooperatives provide over 100 million jobs around the world, 20% more than multinational enterprises.
This document provides information about farmer producer organizations (FPOs) in India, including:
1) FPOs are needed to address issues small farmers face related to scale, information, market access, and risk. They can help farmers access investments, technology, and efficient input/output management.
2) Over 6,500 FPOs currently operate in India. The government aims to establish 10,000 more under a new central scheme to help small farmers access markets, credit, and skills.
3) Experience shows FPOs are most successful when they control local value chains end-to-end. However, most still face constraints around capacity, capital, and skills. Significant efforts are needed to
Rwanda hosted a two-day workshop to develop a national school feeding program, with support from Brazil and WFP. Brazil agreed to mentor Rwanda on their successful program. Local food procurement will be emphasized to support agricultural development. El Salvador also visited Brazil and agreed to an action plan to better integrate education, health, and agriculture in their school feeding policies. Upcoming study visits from other African and Latin American countries to learn from Brazil's experience are planned.
Representatives from Mexico visited Brazil to learn about its school feeding program and zero hunger strategy. In particular, Mexico was interested in Brazil's monitoring and evaluation tools. Meanwhile, Brazil could benefit from Mexico's multidimensional poverty measure. Representatives from Rwanda, Ghana, Malawi, Senegal and Haiti also completed study visits to Brazil to learn lessons about their school feeding programs and food procurement systems that could be adapted in their own countries. Upcoming events include a visit from Bangladesh and the next Global Child Nutrition Forum in Brazil. The Purchase from Africans for Africa program was also launched to source food for assistance programs locally in African countries.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
