Value chain interventions in the LIVES zones

Dirk HoekstraLIVES Familiarization Workshop

Rift Valley Hotel, Adama, April 22-24, 2013

Outline

• The value chain implementation process – Dirk

• Livestock value chain interventions - Dirk

• Irrigated crop value chain - Philippe

Steps taken

• Zones and commodities selected

• Baseline data collected

• Rapid diagnostic study conducted

• Commodity vision and potential interventions identified during zonal stakeholder meetings

Implementation process - planning

•In each Zone - organize meeting with key Zonal and District officials to:– Present development intervention plan (including km and

capacity development)

– Identify Pilot sites to initiate production activities (PA, rural/urban, watershed, irrigation scheme, grazing area)

– Identify key value chain actors for each commodity to be linked to the production sites

– Introduce commodity platform concept

(USE SHOULD BE MADE OF THE INFORMATION DOCUMENTED IN THE ZONAL REPORTS)

Implementation process - planning

• For each of the selected commodities create a platform and organize a meeting to– Review market potential/channels for the

different products in a commodity– Review/agree on value chain development

production sites for year1– Review/agree PA, District, Zonal agribusinesses,

input producers, community service schemes to be linked to the production intervention areas

– Review /agree proposed interventions year 1

Implementation process – production interventions

• Coach/mentor extension staff to introduce key production interventions during the year

• Identify/provide demonstration materials for production interventions and/or prepare credit proposals as required

• Identify key topics for capacity development and organize resource persons for training as required.

Implementation process – input/service supply interventions

•Coach/mentor extension staff and agri -businesses to introduce input/service supply interventions

•Conduct rapid assessment/action planning for community based target input/services beneficiaries as required

•Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce input/service supply interventions

•Conduct capacity developments for selected input/services beneficiaries (national/regional)

• Create linkages between agri-businesses at District, zonal, regional and federal level

Implementation process – processing and marketing

• Coach/mentor extension staff and agribusinesses to introduce marketing and processing interventions

• Conduct rapid market assessment for selected products as required

• Identify/provide demonstration supplies, equipment and or prepare credit proposals to introduce marketing processing interventions

• Create linkages with processing and marketing businesses at regional/federal level

Implementation process monitoring and learning

• For selected platform members organize field visits/study tours to advanced/critical value chain nodes in and outside the Zone.

• Organize platform meeting/field day to review progress and learn after six month.

• Organize seminars to present and discuss lesson learned.

• Feed market oriented knowledge skills to service providers and vc actors

Livestock value chain interventions

• Poultry

• Small ruminants

• Large ruminants

• Dairy

• Apiculture

Poultry

• Two systems – Peri-urban – exotic (integrate with dairy/fattening)– Rural – local breeds (selected)

• Production– Use of better performing breeds (egg or broiler)– Improved management (housing, feeding, health, scale, records)

• Input/service supply– Hatchery, pullet production– CAHW/vaccinators– Linkages with suppliers/services, including credit institutions

• Processing marketing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers

Small ruminants

• Production– Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local)– Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records)– On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation

• Input/service supply– Community breeding system– Breeder groups– CAHW/vaccinators– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions

• Processing/marketing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight)

Large ruminants

• Production– Use of better performing animal/breeds (exotic, local)– Improved fattening practices (feeding, housing, health, scale, cluster, records)– On farm fodder production, treatment/conservation

• Input/service supply – CAHW– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions

• Marketing processing– Marketing groups– Linkages with institutional buyers (contracts, weight)– Food safety butcheries

Dairy• Two systems

– Urban/peri urban fluid milk by specialized and mixed farms– Rural local butter production/sale by mixed farms

• Production– Use of improved breeds– Improved animal management (housing, feeding, health, fertility mngt)– On farm fodder production, treatment, conservation

• Input/service supply– Mass insemination system– Calf/Heifer breeders– CAHW/vaccinators– Communal grazing area management– Forage seed multiplication systems (FTCs, Private farms)– Fodder conservation/treatment services – Linkages with suppliers/service including credit institutions

• Marketing/processing– Processing fluid milk – cooperatives, private– Processing of butter – women groups– Collection points in peri urban areas– Quality control

Apiculture

• Production – Improved apiculture management (housing, feed/water,

health/hygiene)• Input/service supply

– Colony multiplication– Foundation sheet maker– Linkages with suppliers accessories/hives and credit

institutions• Processing/marketing

– Village level processing honey– Marketing groups– Linkages with commercial processors
