BUSINESS LINKAGES: VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT An enabling environment for business is a necessary prerequisite for value chain development. Linkages can be forged by building back from business; building out from farmers; and establishing facilitation bodies (NGOs, donor projects, public-private collaboration). The choice of approach depends largely on the nature of the product and the nature of the end buyer, which determines the nature of the economic relationship between chain actors. In all of these situations, a lesson learned is that all actors in the value chain should avoid taking on functions for which they may not have the competence and time. The potential for linking farmers to markets exists when the actors along the chains focus on their core competence, and coordinated efforts are built to design market development schemes and initiatives that are based on market-driven models. Farmers must also be safeguarded from exploitation and interventions should be inclusive in order to address poverty issues.

ORGANIZING SMALLHOLDERS: PRODUCER ORGANIZATIONS AND COOPERATIVES Organizing smallholders is strongly supported, given the potential benefits of economies of scale and transaction cost savings. High costs of organizing and coordinating farmers and creating viable apex organizations and the failures of farmer cooperatives and associations in the past were highlighted as issues of concern. Weaknesses in creating viable apex organizations were seen to stem from a lack of human capacity and skills to develop farmer organizations into sustainable support service providers for business development. The range of business services required by small-scale farmers includes provision of financial services, market and marketing information and technical support related to production, processing, new product development and business management. The need for a professional level of management support was identified as crucial. Government has a responsibility to develop policies that address these weaknesses.

ESTABLISHING CLUSTERS: AGRO-INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS AND FOOD PARKS Limited experience with clustering in the agriculture sector was noted. Agricultural clusters are harder to realize than industrial ones, because of the spatial aspects related to agricultural production. Promotion of clusters is an example of PPP where the burden of initiating and sustaining activities ought to fall on the private sector. Experience with agro-industry clusters showed that clustering is the best way to manage and use infrastructure in the given location as well as to achieve standardization and quality of products. Clusters are also a means to foster value chain integration and co-ordination.

MEETING CONSUMER REQUIREMENTS: QUALITY, SAFETY AND EMERGING CONCERNS These are noted as major defining issues for market access by farmers. The establishment of quality control systems, the application of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles along the chains and the provision of financial and technical support to SMEs and farmers to upgrade their agricultural and manufacturing practices would address the stringency of food safety and quality demands. The rules of the game are seen to be determined by retailers in international markets, rather than consumers. There is still a need to strengthen the public sector capacities to address consumer demand issues and raise awareness on standards and requirements.

DIFFERENTIATING PRODUCTS: BRANDING AND CERTIFICATION The benefits of adopting the protocols of certification may be offset by other aspects, such as high cost of certification, short duration of certificates and reduced target market of certified products. The quality assurance system would be better implemented by the private sector if high quality products were to be assured. Some scepticism on the possible role of the public sector in supporting product differentiation was put across. In some countries government-initiated programmes have been implemented successfully as components of national strategies to upgrade production and supply chain systems to comply with these new market challenges. Another role of governments would be to create an enabling environment for the operation of agri-oriented SMEs and to provide infrastructure requirements.

STAYING COMPETITIVE: INNOVATION, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND ADAPTATION Innovation was characterized as a private business that requires creative development. The idea of innovation originating from the public sector was considered quite challenging. The establishment of centres of excellence

was suggested as one of possible mechanisms to address the needs of SMEs. A multi-stakeholder approach was deemed useful in promoting effective product and process innovation.

HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT The misalignment between the technical and managerial requirements of the agro-industrial sector is attributed to the weak linkages between food science academic programmes and the food industry. The need for context appropriate training and capacity building at all levels starting with farmers was highlighted, as was the need to put knowledge into practice. South-south cooperation is one of the models that is particularly suited for knowledge transfer. Language issues were flagged as being a critical element of knowledge transfer.

IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY: TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION AND UTILIZATION Improved technologies are agreed to be a requisite for improving productivity, but capacity building and other factors must accompany, if technology acquisition is to be effective. It is important to set up the role of the public sector ahead of the introduction of technology. In the past experience, technology focus was excessively given to production processes and insufficiently to value addition and marketing.

ATTRACTING INVESTMENT: AGRO-INDUSTRY AND AGRO-ENTERPRISE FINANCE Creating an enabling environment by the government was highlighted as most important for attracting investment. The government’s roles also include coordination and to a certain extent regulating the operating environment to ensure coordination among donors and investors, as well as quality assurance. There is a lack of financial services for many in the sector, especially the small agriculturalists and agribusinesses who lack security. Thus, non-traditional forms of finance and investment must be considered.

IMPROVING EFFICIENCY: AGRO-INDUSTRIES OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT There is a relative lack of managerial prowess in the agro-industrial sector of developing countries. Improving existing training programmes and offering attractive tertiary food-industry management degrees would be one possible option to solve this issue. Public policy should support small agro-enterprises by reducing administrative requirements, adopting appropriate regulations and licensing.

REDUCING COSTS: INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT Public policy in many developing countries needs to promote and directly support new business models for infrastructure development in rural areas that involve the direct participation of the private sector. “Smart subsidies” may be useful to mitigate the risks and start-up costs of private infrastructural investment. Even though there are many successful PPPs in infrastructure development, some scepticism was raised on the general suitability of these organizational arrangements. One of the most successful interventions is where government using its own finance or donor funds helps the actors engaged in the private sector to increase efficiency, The public sector’s role, the primary driver for at least common infrastructural development, is to ensure that basic infrastructure is in place. Then the private sector could provide secondary types of infrastructure.
