Rice Value Chain Analysis: Rice Seed Production as a Profitable Agribusiness ...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study explored the rice value chain (RVC) in Nueva Ecija, value additions, found restrictions, and offered to upgrade solutions to improve the competitiveness of the rice industry and specific segments in the RVC using the value chain analysis (VCA) methodology. Farmers, paddy dealers, millers, wholesalers, wholesaler-retailers, and retailers in Nueva Ecija provided primary data. Workshops with stakeholders were also held to validate preliminary findings and identify upgrading strategies. The RVC begins with the provision of inputs for paddy production and concludes with the consumption of milled rice. The RVC is dominated by a traditional multi-layered supply chain with interconnected chain actors consisting of competing farmers, paddy traders, millers, and rice traders in each segment and, frequently, with the involvement of brokers in both paddy aggregation and rice distribution, thereby increasing marketing cost. The major constraints identified in the RVC included high production and marketing costs of paddy and rice due to low yield, high labor and material inputs, and a lack of critical infrastructure and market facilities (e.g., modern mills, dryers, cheap transport, and energy), resulting in high domestic paddy and rice prices and low competitiveness of the entire rice VC. To improve competitiveness, the rice industry should focus on developing and promoting yield-increasing, postharvest loss-reducing, and cost-cutting technologies, as well as those that improve overall RVC efficiency, such as investments in enabling infrastructure and facilities for transport, handling, storage, drying, and milling.
PABRA is an alliance of 30 National Agricultural Research Systems and over 350 partners working to enhance food security, income, and nutrition through integrated bean research in Africa. The business case for beans is strong, with production in Ethiopia increasing over 300% from 1990 to 2010. PABRA facilitates partnerships between CIAT, NARS, and other stakeholders to conduct joint research, strengthen capacity, and catalyze impact pathways. This includes testing approaches to promote wide, fast, and equitable adoption of new varieties and technologies across the bean value chain. The goal is to expand the geographic, social, and economic reach of improved beans in Africa through "bean corridors" and by fostering market-led product development and diversified seed systems.
AGRA was founded with an ambitious vision of a prosperous, equitable and food-secure Africa, achieved through rapid and sustainable agricultural growth driven by increasingly productive and profitable smallholder farming. Its mission is to catalyze an agricultural transformation in Africa – one that assures food and nutritional security and lifts millions out of poverty. Each year, AGRA and its partners, which include public and private sectors organizations and agencies, international research and development agencies, and local institutions, make measurable progress towards this vision and mission.
This document outlines plans for the Centre of Excellence for Seed Industry (CoESI) in West Africa to be implemented by the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC) in Nigeria. It discusses the need for CoESI due to yield losses in crops like cassava and opportunities in the seed value chain. The implementation strategy involves building strategic partnerships between NASC, farmers, industry, research institutions, and donors to strengthen Nigeria's seed system through activities at CoESI like training, quality control facilities, and market-responsive policies. The overall goals are to increase domestic seed production, exports, and entrepreneurship while ensuring national food security.

N2Africa is a project that partners with legume value chain actors in Africa to promote improved legume technologies and market access for smallholder farmers. The project facilitated an agreement between Mama Farmers Cooperative Union and AKF animal feed company in Ethiopia. This agreement allowed over 1,500 tons of soybeans from smallholder farmers in the Pawe cluster to be sold collectively to AKF in 2015. However, challenges remain regarding quality control, business capacity of unions, and meeting commitments. Opportunities also exist in growing domestic and international demand for pulses.
Farmpadi is developing an IoT sensor device and platform to help Nigerian farmers improve crop yields, reduce costs, and access markets. The sensor collects soil data to advise farmers on fertilizer needs and provides real-time alerts on conditions. This addresses issues like underutilized land, post-harvest losses, and lack of decision support. Initial results for one farmer show reduced water and fertilizer use, higher yields, and sales with Farmpadi's services. The company plans to expand sensor coverage, partner with more farmers, and develop new sensors for livestock and aquaculture.
ICRISAT’s Seed Systems Models and Lessons Learned booklet explains the rationale of ICRISAT’s work on seed systems in the drylands, the different approaches and their impact on the ground. Improving farmers’ access to improved seeds in the drylands is seen as a cost-effective strategy to improve farm productivity and food security. Different models of seed systems are tested and developed by ICRISAT and its development partners in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia depending on the local context. It includes small seed packets, groundnut seed revolving fund in Malawi, support to community-based systems, farmer seed organizations or local seed ventures, and public private seed partnerships like the Hybrid Parents Research Consortium for pearl millet and sorghum in India. ICRISAT’s vision on seed systems is demand-driven, holistic and working in partnership, along the crop value chain.

Presentation by Dr Rebbie Harawa from AGRA, at the Regional planning meeting on ‘Scaling-Up Climate-Smart Agricultural Solutions for Cereals and Livestock Farmers in Southern Africa – Building partnership for successful implementation’,13–15 September 2016, Johannesburg, South Africa
Wheat production in Africa has increased significantly in recent decades due to improved varieties, irrigation expansion, and government support. However, Africa still imports over 40 million tons of wheat annually at a cost of over $14 billion. By 2050, wheat imports are projected to reach 60 million tons annually at a cost of over $24 billion unless domestic production increases. Studies show substantial potential to increase wheat yields and production profitably across sub-Saharan Africa through investment in research, infrastructure, and policy reforms. Key countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Rwanda have begun to realize this potential through national commitments to wheat research, improved varieties, and agricultural support programs. Increased efforts are still needed across Africa to boost wheat productivity, self-

The document discusses the importance of rice production in Ethiopia, current trends, and challenges. It notes that rice production has increased significantly but imports have increased even more, decreasing self-sufficiency. While demand is growing, productivity remains low compared to imports. Key challenges include low yields, lack of processing technologies, inadequate market development and human resources. Strengthening research and development partnerships is seen as critical to transforming Ethiopia's rice sector and reducing its reliance on imports to meet demand.
The West Africa Seed Program (WASP) is a 5-year program funded by USAID and implemented by CORAF/WECARD that aims to expand certified seed production and supply in West Africa from 12% to 25%. The program works with the national agricultural research institutes and seed associations of Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal to strengthen seed sector capacities, implement regional seed regulations, and establish a public-private alliance to improve seed availability. The goal is to contribute to sustainable agricultural production growth through increased access to high-quality seeds of improved varieties.
Similar to Rice - Advanced rice varieties for Africa (20)
1. Quality protein maize (QPM) is a variety of maize developed in the 1990s to help reduce malnutrition by having higher amounts of two essential amino acids.
2. QPM looks and grows like normal maize but has superior nutritional content. It has been released in at least 17 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
3. While QPM can help improve nutrition, it faces limitations as it is indistinguishable from normal maize and cross-pollination can dilute its traits. Promotional activities are important for adoption.
Technology Profile - Breeding TIMPs for Small RuminantsPodisi (CCARDESA) 2017 Hillary Hanson
This document summarizes information on improved breeding practices for small ruminants like sheep and goats in Namibia. It discusses how selection of superior animals through genetic testing and selective breeding can improve important traits like growth rate and fertility. While techniques like artificial insemination are used in some areas, traditional selective breeding is more common due to lower costs. The benefits of scaling up improved breeding include increased productivity, meat quality, and hardiness of goats and sheep, which would improve incomes and food security, especially for smallholder farmers in northern Namibia.
NERICA rice varieties were developed through crosses between African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and Asian rice (Oryza sativa) to combine the best traits of both parents. They have been widely adopted in many West and Central African countries due to their higher yields compared to traditional varieties and ability to thrive in harsh environments. The document discusses how NERICA is used, its limitations, who uses it, where it is used, why farmers use it, and assesses the potential economic benefits of further scaling up NERICA adoption, particularly in Senegal. Modeling estimates that increased adoption could result in $195 million to $650 million in increased economic benefits for the regions of Casamance and South S

This document summarizes improved breeding practices for small ruminants like sheep and goats in Namibia. It discusses how selection of superior animals through genetic testing can improve key traits over multiple generations. While techniques like artificial insemination are used in other livestock, challenges around record keeping and animal mixing make these difficult for smallholder farmers in Namibia. Instead, selecting best animals to breed and culling poor performers can still provide benefits at low cost. Modeling suggests scaling improved breeding across Namibia's northern region could provide economic gains of $9-106 million by 2025.
Technical Support for Africa's Science and Technology Agenda: A Partners MeetingHillary Hanson
The document summarizes a meeting to discuss technical support for Africa's science and technology agenda. It provides context on ongoing work by IFPRI, IFAD, and CGIAR to support agricultural research in Africa. The meeting brought together representatives from various organizations to provide feedback on three workstreams: 1) updating agricultural research indicators through ASTI and partnerships, 2) developing a virtual information platform to integrate spatial and online decision tools, and 3) identifying promising agricultural technologies ready for adoption. Participants discussed how to strengthen collaboration, data sharing, private sector engagement, and support for national innovation systems. Next steps include further developing the three workstreams and convening another meeting to advance related work.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Partnerships in Africa
The emerging rice varieties are evaluated for tolerance
to abiotic and biotic stresses, high yield and acceptable
consumer qualities. Using a combination of conventional
and marker assisted breeding methods the task force has
been able to identify and transfer tolerance to targeted
abiotic and biotic stresses into high yielding rice varieties.
The varieties have been tested under researcher-managed
and farmer-managed conditions where these stresses
occur. The superiority of the new varieties was clearly
demonstrated in the multi-country trials in ten countries
between 2008-2014 (AfricaRice 2015).
Products
Market demand and consumer preferences
Wide adoption of the next generation of new rice varieties
in Africa will depend upon market demand for the final
product of locally grown rice. Locally produced rice in
Africa is often less competitive than imported rice, due to
several factors, including: the high cost of production; poor
quality of some locally produced rice; lack of marketing
of consistently high quality product; poorly organised rice
value chain; and erratic supply of locally produced rice
throughout the year.
Hence, despite the significant price discount of locally
produced rice observed in certain markets in Africa, in
comparison with imported rice, urban consumers prefer
rice of Asian export quality standards, even if this is more
expensive. Also, locally produced rice lacks ‘a brand
identity’ (i.e. brand name, high grain quality, preferred
taste, competitive price and attractive packaging). The
new ARICA rice needs to be well promoted and easily
recognizable by consumers in the market as rice that
meets their preferences on quality, taste and price.
Delivery
Public private partnerships for the supply of high
quality seed of new ARICA rice varieties
A suite of new ARICA varieties suitable for various agro-
ecosystems across Africa is available. Demand by farmers
for seed of the new ARICA varieties is not being met
by current seed supply systems. Traditionally, AfricaRice
works with the National Agricultural Research System
(NARS) of member countries to test and disseminate new
varieties. Recently, there has been a shift in emphasis,
with a view to widening the partnerships to accelerate the
dissemination of new rice varieties. Other stakeholders
beyond the NARS are important when it comes to variety
dissemination after release.
With the emerging private sector and expanding market
opportunities in most countries of Africa, stakeholders in
the private sector are potential new partners and possible
investors in the rice business in Africa. These new partners
may include private seed enterprises, rice millers, rice
importers and large scale rice producers. An enabling policy
and regulatory environment that encourages investment
within individual countries is necessary. Small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) involved in agriculture are crucial for
efficiency and sustainability and for reaching a wider
market. SMEs are flexible enough to meet changing market
demands and can operate on smaller profit margins than
larger enterprises.
The challenge for private sector investment in the rice
seed business is the tendency of farmers to recycle their
own seed. Private seed companies may not be able to
recoup sufficient return on their investments of producing
high quality rice seed. Public-private partnerships (PPP)
are therefore essential for ensuring the supply/sale of
quality rice seed – with breeder and foundation seed being
produced by the public sector while certified seed
is produced by the private sector.
Multilateral financial institutions (e.g. AfDB and the World
Bank) could support the further development of sustainable
seed systems for dissemination and uptake of the
improved varieties through initiatives such as Technologies
for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) and the
Word Bank-supported regional agricultural productivity
projects in east and west Africa. Specific activities would
include support for multi-location testing and release of
improved varieties, seed production and promotion of the
varieties, skills enhancement of stakeholders on quality
seed production practices and seed entrepreneurship, and
development of relevant seed policies at national and
regional levels. The USAID supported seed program (WASP)
managed by CORAF, is a good example of development
partner engagement in a sustainable seed system
development in West Africa, with seed enterprise SMEs
at the centre of the plan.

2. Context
Demand: Rice is a preferred food, especially in West
Africa, and in urban areas across the continent. The
growing demand for rice in Africa is driven by population
growth, increasing urbanization and climate change effects
that are reducing productivity within the rice growing
areas of Africa. Most of the rice consumed in Africa (over
90%) is imported from Asia and the USA. This represents
a substantial amount of foreign exchange earnings being
spent on importing rice, especially for the main rice
consuming countries, such as Cote D’Ivoire, Senegal
and Tanzania.
Supply: Most rice in Africa is grown within rain fed
production systems that have relatively lower productivity
when compared to irrigated systems. Rain fed systems are
also more vulnerable to climate change. Rice production in
Africa is hindered by many abiotic stresses such as drought,
salinity, flooding, iron toxicity and extreme temperatures.
Rice is also vulnerable to a range of pest and diseases.
These abiotic and biotic stresses all reduce rice yields in
farmers’ fields. There are also some postharvest issues
accounting for the poor quality of some locally grown rice.
Discovery
Advanced Rice Varieties for Africa (ARICA)
The Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) has established an
Africa-wide Rice Breeding Task Force (ARBTF) to contribute
towards achieving rice self-sufficiency in Africa. This
breeders’ network enables newly developed rice varieties
to be evaluated across trial sites in more than 30 countries.
The objective is to accelerate the development and
deployment of the next generation of elite rice varieties
for major production systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
The breeding lines that enter the task force evaluation
system are contributed by many institutions, including
AfricaRice, the national agricultural research systems in rice
growing countries of Africa, the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI), the International Center of Cooperation in
Agricultural Research for Development (CIRAD), and the
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). These
institutes are also partners in the CGIAR Research Program
(CRP) on rice.
The Africa Rice Breeding Task Force uses a systematic and
multi-environment testing approach to increase efficiency
and efficacy in rice breeding across the continent. In
addition to rice breeders, farmers, members of national
variety release committees and other stakeholders such
as millers, traders and restaurant owners participate in the
evaluation of new rice lines. Organoleptic and palatability
tests are conducted before the release of varieties.
In addition, all material undergoes grain quality analysis.
All this is to ensure that varieties meet specifications
demanded by the market. (continued on page 4)
Impact
IFPRI’s IMPACT modelling
Assumptions: IFPRI’s IMPACT model was used to simulate different rice market scenarios (i.e. supply, demand, prices and trade)
for the countries of Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal and Tanzania. Basic assumptions include: Productivity increase of 30% for the improved
rice varieties; farmers’ adoption rate of 48% to 60% respectively for the moderate and high adoption scenarios, by 2030. A baseline
scenario of business as usual with no ‘new rice technology initiative’ is assumed—with climate change as given for all scenarios.

Cote D’Ivoire: IFPRI’s IMPACT simulations
shows that adoption of improved rice
technology can increase both total and per
capita rice production (Figures 1a, 1b) and
improve its projected trade position by
becoming self-sufficient by 2025 and turning
into a minor exporter by 2030 (Figure 1c).
Senegal: IFPRI’s IMPACT simulations shows
that adoption of improved rice technology
can increase production (Figures 2a, 2b)
and improve its projected trade position
by reducing imports in 2030, although
remaining a net importer (Figure 2c).
Tanzania: IFPRI’s IMPACT simulations
shows that adoption of improved rice
technology can increase production
(Figures 3a,3b) and further improve its
trade position to become a major regional
rice exporter by 2030 (Figure 3c).
