Potato Varieties for Sub-Saharan
Africa

Manuel Gastelo and Dieudonne Harahagazwe
International Potato Center (CIP)
Outline
1. Introduction
2. Methodology: The IMPACT model
3. Scenario: Improved potato varieties for SSA
4. Results
5. Conclusions
1. Introduction
• Strong expansion of potato production and consumption in
SSA (Low et al., 2007)
• Multiple and important roles in local food systems
• Increase food availability and aggregate efficiency of
food systems
• Short vegetation cycle and suitability to marginal environment
• Provision of income generation opportunities
• Cash crop and processing
• Grown in regions with high incidence of poverty,
undernutrition and food insecurity and high population
density
1. Introduction
• Steady but slow yield growth in the past, main production
increases from area expansions
• High potential of technological innovations to increase productivity
• Potentially high returns on investment and strong impacts on poverty
and hunger (Anderson et al. 2010)
Technological improvements in potatoes “an underexploited resource”
(Alexandratos, 1997)
• Ongoing breeding efforts by CIP and NARS in the region
• What potential impacts can be expected from future
improvement of potato varieties for SSA?
Ex-ante assessment of potential impacts using an
agricultural sector simulation model
2. Methodology: The IMPACT model
• Integrated modeling framework which combines an economic global
agricultural sector model with a water simulation model
• Food module
• Projections of agricultural production, demand, trade flows and
prices on a regional scale (countries or aggregates)
• Partial-equilibrium model
• 40 agricultural commodities
• 155 regions and 126 water basins, which combine into 281 “food
production units” (FPUs)
• Water module
• Simulation of water availability for agriculture and other uses
• Multi-period model: 2000-2050
2. Methodology: The IMPACT model
2. Methodology: The IMPACT model
• Agricultural production depicted by area and yield
functions:
Yield shifter
Integration of new
technologies via
shifters in yield
functions
3. Scenario
- Description of the technology
• Improved potato varieties for SSA
• Higher yield potential
• Late-blight and virus resistance
• Heat tolerance
• Processing quality
• 30% higher yields
• Nine target countries
• Total investment: 9.8m US$ (4.29m NPV,
2000 constant prices)
• Project duration: 12 years Source: Theisen and Thiele (2008).

Total 12 years 9.1m US$
3. Scenario
- Dissemination and adoption
• Release: 2020
• Four tier model of adoption
• Very low: 5% after 10 years (MLW, MOZ)
• Low: 10% (DRC,TZA)
• Middle: 20% (BUR, ETH, KEN, UGA)
• High: 30% (RWA)
• Analysis of three adoption cases
• “High”: as above
• “Medium”: 2/3 of “high”
• “Low”: 1/3 of “high”

5. Conclusions and outlook
• Positive production impacts in target countries
• Positive net welfare effects and high ROI in target
countries
• Comparable with findings from previous impact
evaluations of improved varieties
• Investment in improved potato varieties justified from
economic point of view
• Global analysis
• Consumers benefit
• Producers lose
• Positive net benefit
5. Conclusions and outlook
• Pivotal role of adoption levels
• Importance of market acceptance and sufficiently good
seed systems for quick dissemination and adoption
• Complementary investments in seed systems
• Showcase application of IMPACT modeling framework
for ex-ante assessment of agricultural technologies
• Advantages
• Global geographic coverage, comprehensive commodity
coverage
• Capture complex market-mediated interactions across
commodities and countries
• Scope for improvement:
• Assumptions on costs, adoption and dissemination
• Combination of IMPACT with biophysical modeling tools
(crop models, pest and disease models)
• Improvement of baseline data (FAO!)

  • 1. AFRICAN POTATO ASSOCATION CONFERENCE 2013 Naivasha, Kenya, June 30 – July 4, 2013 Ex-ante Evaluation of Improved Potato Varieties for Sub-Saharan Africa Ulrich Kleinwechter, Guy Hareau, Merideth Bonierbale, Manuel Gastelo and Dieudonne Harahagazwe International Potato Center (CIP)
  • 2. Outline 1. Introduction 2. Methodology: The IMPACT model 3. Scenario: Improved potato varieties for SSA 4. Results 5. Conclusions
  • 3. 1. Introduction • Strong expansion of potato production and consumption in SSA (Low et al., 2007) • Multiple and important roles in local food systems • Increase food availability and aggregate efficiency of food systems • Short vegetation cycle and suitability to marginal environment • Provision of income generation opportunities • Cash crop and processing • Grown in regions with high incidence of poverty, undernutrition and food insecurity and high population density
  • 4. 1. Introduction • Steady but slow yield growth in the past, main production increases from area expansions • High potential of technological innovations to increase productivity • Potentially high returns on investment and strong impacts on poverty and hunger (Anderson et al. 2010) Technological improvements in potatoes “an underexploited resource” (Alexandratos, 1997) • Ongoing breeding efforts by CIP and NARS in the region • What potential impacts can be expected from future improvement of potato varieties for SSA? Ex-ante assessment of potential impacts using an agricultural sector simulation model
  • 5. 2. Methodology: The IMPACT model • Integrated modeling framework which combines an economic global agricultural sector model with a water simulation model • Food module • Projections of agricultural production, demand, trade flows and prices on a regional scale (countries or aggregates) • Partial-equilibrium model • 40 agricultural commodities • 155 regions and 126 water basins, which combine into 281 “food production units” (FPUs) • Water module • Simulation of water availability for agriculture and other uses • Multi-period model: 2000-2050
  • 6. 2. Methodology: The IMPACT model
  • 7. 2. Methodology: The IMPACT model • Agricultural production depicted by area and yield functions: Yield shifter Integration of new technologies via shifters in yield functions
  • 8. 3. Scenario - Description of the technology • Improved potato varieties for SSA • Higher yield potential • Late-blight and virus resistance • Heat tolerance • Processing quality • 30% higher yields • Nine target countries • Total investment: 9.8m US$ (4.29m NPV, 2000 constant prices) • Project duration: 12 years Source: Theisen and Thiele (2008). EthiopiaUganda Rwanda Burundi DR Congo Kenya Tanzania Mozambique Malawi
  • 9. 3. Scenario - Project description and cost Activity Description Output Duration Total cost 1. Breeding at  CIP One breeding  cycle, starting  from LBHT  population Advanced clones with  improved traits 4 years 3.5m US$ 2. Breeding and  seed  multiplication at  NARS Further selection,  seed  multiplication Improved potato  varieties, potato seeds  for dissemination 4 years 3.5m US$ 3. Dissemination Dissemination of  potato seeds,  extension New varieties adopted  by farmers 4 years 2.1m US$ Total 12 years 9.1m US$
  • 10. 3. Scenario - Dissemination and adoption • Release: 2020 • Four tier model of adoption • Very low: 5% after 10 years (MLW, MOZ) • Low: 10% (DRC,TZA) • Middle: 20% (BUR, ETH, KEN, UGA) • High: 30% (RWA) • Analysis of three adoption cases • “High”: as above • “Medium”: 2/3 of “high” • “Low”: 1/3 of “high” 0 20 40 60 80 100 %ofcultivatedarea High adoption Traditional varieties Improved varieties 0 20 40 60 80 100 %ofcultivatedarea Low adoption Traditional varieties Improved varieties

  • 18. 5. Conclusions and outlook • Positive production impacts in target countries • Positive net welfare effects and high ROI in target countries • Comparable with findings from previous impact evaluations of improved varieties • Investment in improved potato varieties justified from economic point of view • Global analysis • Consumers benefit • Producers lose • Positive net benefit
  • 19. 5. Conclusions and outlook • Pivotal role of adoption levels • Importance of market acceptance and sufficiently good seed systems for quick dissemination and adoption • Complementary investments in seed systems • Showcase application of IMPACT modeling framework for ex-ante assessment of agricultural technologies • Advantages • Global geographic coverage, comprehensive commodity coverage • Capture complex market-mediated interactions across commodities and countries • Scope for improvement: • Assumptions on costs, adoption and dissemination • Combination of IMPACT with biophysical modeling tools (crop models, pest and disease models) • Improvement of baseline data (FAO!)
