Ict’s in value chains v1
- 1. ICT’s in Value Chains Shaun Ferris CTA Addis – 6th November…
- 2. Participants Value chain A value chain process focuses on linking chain actors with target markets:
- 3. Key features of value chain methods? Market linkage process Takes a systems perspective Drives growth through end markets Stimulates commercially-oriented, market-based solutions to constraints Upgradesthe performance of individual businesses and the chain as a whole Fostersand facilitates competitiveness by building inter-business relationships
- 4. The value chain There are three different types of actors They each have different ICT needs and solutions The Institutions and Rules The Core Actors Business Service Providers Extension, vets, inputs, transport, banks
- 5. Extension ICT’s Project support Distance Project set Distance learning up learning / Baseline / training impact materials Data forms Crop monitoring Farmer Map and registration Map and Track Track service delivery audit Business planning Profitability analysis

- 8. Time frames Safety net clients Food aid and asset transfer
- 9. Targeting Data based on Sitko et al. MSU. Top 1-2% of commercial smallholder Trends and transformations in staple farmers who produce up to 50% of the food markets in Eastern and Southern Africa traded grain Periodic 15-18% of smallholders who sell the 2-3 year process bulk of the other 50% of traded grain sellers 20-30 % of farmers who are Market Ready market neutral (weather smallholders dependent) 5-8 year process Market limited smallholders 30-50% of farmers who are net buyers Highly vulnerable Poor (ultra poor)
- 10. Key Challenges Most smallholder farmers work outside of value chains. Value chain support requires a shift in extension to business advice in addition to production 100’s of farmers to one Extension worker Using value chain information requires a learning process for farmers and that takes time. Millions of farmers want customized information, most do not get it. Most farmers expect free services, which needs to change
- 11. Conclusions 1. Great progress in ICT solutions, but How many extension services are using these methods? Need to find best fit options to shift from traditional delivery channels and ICT-enabled channels 2. Must focus on scale to achieve cost recovery and value added? To do this we need better public-private partnerships? 3. Need more return on investment studies to highlight the value of ICT-enabled approaches – and effectiveness compared to other approaches?
