Cochabamba - Bolivia) Effects of access to information on farmer’s market channel choice: The Case of Potato in Tiraque Sub-watershed (Cochabamba - Bolivia) Nadezda R. Amaya Urquieta Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Agricultural and Applied Economics Jeffrey R. Alwang Maria E. Christie Daniel B. Taylor December 8th, 2009 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Bolivia, potato, market, information, gender roles, market chain. Effects of access to information on farmer’s market channel choice: The Case of Potato in Tiraque Sub-watershed (Cochabamba - Bolivia) Nadezda R. Amaya Urquieta Abstract In Bolivia, potato production and marketing is important for farmers’ livelihoods and anecdotal information shows that cell phones and women are extremely important in the potato marketing chain. Efforts to improve incomes of poor highland potato producers should recognize roles of different actors within the chain and access to market information. This study explores the effects of access to information and gender relations within the potato chain; on farmers’ market channel choice in the Tiraque Watershed (Bolivia). The analysis of qualitative information was useful to deepen the understanding of the subject and complement the quantitative analysis. The main source of data comes from a survey of 400 households from the watershed. Rapid Market Appraisal and Case Studies were used to collect qualitative data. The quantitative data were used to estimate two econometric models (Logit and MNL) to evaluate the importance of farmer and market characteristics on market choices. This analysis demonstrates that the determinants affecting market channel choice include market attributes (time to reach the markets and the nearest paved road), production (number of plots owned by farmers) and household-related variables (access to loan, cell phone ownership, location and age of the head of the household). An important unexpected result is that even though the qualitative analysis shows that gender plays an important role in marketing activities; the econometric analysis shows that gender has no effect on farmer’s market choices.

Claudia Mercedes Rivas Valencia DECANA FDRyT RESUMEN El objetivo del presente trabajo fue elaborar un plan de gestión integral de los recursos hídricos en la comunidad de Suraj Mayu municipio de Tiraque, a partir de un diagnóstico territorial para fortalecer la sostenibilidad de los recursos naturales. Para alcanzar este objetivo se realizó un diagnóstico con enfoque de sistema de vida considerando tres dimensiones. En la dimensión biofísica ambiental, se identificó la escasez de agua para riego, que es un problema que limita la producción agrícola. En la producción, el uso de agroquímicos genera la contaminación ambiental junto con ello la pérdida de la cobertura vegetal por la tala de árboles sin reforestación alguna. En cuanto a lo sociocultural, la comunidad tiene una organización sólida que se basa en sus reglamentos internos para llevar adelante y gestionar proyectos para el beneficio de todos los comunaríos. Se identificaron problemas y desafíos de los eventos adversos, principalmente de recursos hídricos, para lo cual se plantea un plan para gestionar el recurso hídrico, con el objetivo de fortalecer los recursos naturales.

  • Improving Productivity of Small Peri-Urban Farmers by Bio-Rational Soil Management
    Improving Productivity of Traditional Andean Small Farmers by Bio-Rational Soil Management: I. The Potato Case J. Franco; G. Main; O. Navia, N. Ortuño and J. Herbas1 Summary The use of chemical pesticides in agriculture demands high investments; its in discriminated and inadequate application to obtain immediate crop response has caused considerable damage to the environment and human health, either due to a direct effect or indirect contamination of farmer fields and water sources by highly toxic products. On the other hand, as a result of soil fertility losses, farmers move to new areas for farming, causing a complex migration phenomena and devastation of natural forests. In an effort to find new alternatives for the management of crop pests compatible with the environment and agro- ecologically friendly, some technologies recently developed have been offered to small Andean potato farmers. Among these, the recycling of organic residues and the management of natural soil microorganisms which are important alternatives to reduce the importation and use of toxic agro-chemicals as well as to preserve and recuperate soil fertility and thus reach a sustainable potato production by Andean farmers. This will not only guarantee food security, but will also have favorable impact on the yield and quality of potato and other crops.

  • Potato Markets, Cellular Phones and Access to Information in the Bolivian Highlands
    AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS Agricultural Economics 43 (2012) 403–413 Women rule: potato markets, cellular phones and access to information in the Bolivian highlands Nadezda R. Amaya Urquietaa, Jeffrey Alwangb,∗ aDepartment of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 208B Hutcheson Hall, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061 bDepartment of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 215 I Hutcheson Hall, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061 Received 28 April 2011; received in revised form 16 September 2011; accepted 31 October 2011 Abstract In highland Bolivia, potato markets are widespread and access to market information has entered the digital age. Information networks lubricated by ubiquitous cellular technologies are supplanting traditional means of information-gathering. We explore the impacts of access to cellular phones on market selection, use of social networks to acquire information, and gendered responsibilities within the potato market chain near Cochabamba. The entire family participates in potato production and marketing, but responsibilities are differentiated by gender. Men take a leading role in potato production and women in marketing. Access to cellular phones affects decisions about where to market potatoes and improves the potato marketing process.

  • Shifting of Water Rights Frameworks in Bolivia
    Propositions 1. In the Andean region’s river basins, diverse actor coalitions strategically deploy diverse and divergent water rights legitimation languages to reinforce their water claims and materialize their wished-for hydrosocial territories. (this thesis) 2. Irrigation development, beyond institute-based prescriptive projects, needs to be understood as a multi-actor negotiated process involving continuous contestation and redesign. (this thesis) 3. Technological instruments can be evaluated “not only for their contributions of efficiency and productivity, … but also for the ways in which they can embody specific forms of power and authority” (Winner, L. 1980. Do artifacts have politics? Daedalus 109 (1): 121-136. Page 121). 4. “History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction” (Watterson, B. 1994. Homicidal psycho jungle cat: a Calvin and Hobbes collection. Andrews McMeel Publishing: Kansas City. Page 148). 5. It is easier to write about irrigation in the Bolivian Andes than to irrigate in this highlands region. 6. Natural resource management is conflict management.
