Study on Opportunities and Threats of Irrigation Development in Kenya's Study on Opportunities and Threats of Irrigation Development in Kenya’s Drylands Interim Findings and Recommendations Study commissioned by FAO Carried out by Ocra Consultants February 2013 Ocra Consultants 2 Ocra Consultants 3 RENEWED INTEREST IN INCREASING IRRIGATION POPULATION •Vision 2030; •Draft Irrigation Policy – 1.2m ha new in ASALs @ 32,000 ha p.a. INCREASING DEMAND FOR FOOD New projects Increased Need to Increase agric agric Increase to Need subsector Rehab & MORE SEVERE & Productivity Production funding expansion AND FREQUENT DROUGHTS More micro- projects Ocra Consultants 4 Study Background and Objectives National ASALs policy goal: increase investments to tap the vast potential; reduced vulnerability to natural hazards; drought management; diversification of livelihood (Irrigation??) Increasing productivity of ASALs through irrigation development (The debate) 1. Is irrigation development in ASALs viable? 1. Economically 2. Environmentally 3. Socially 2. Irrigation Potential in ASALs (Actual?; Perceived?) 3. Threats to irrigation development in ASALs (Investments?; Reliability?; Sustainability?) Ocra Consultants 5 Study Objectives Overall To develop a reference document to inform investment in irrigation within Kenya’s drylands (focus on Daua, Tana, Turkwel and Kerio river basins and Merti aquifer) Specific 1. To use existing data to establish the irrigation potential; 2. To estimate potential crop production; 3. To estimate number of households to be supported; 3. To establish economic, environmental and social viability 4. To establish the potential threats and risks; 5. To recommend interventions Ocra Consultants 6 DRYLANDS (ASALs) AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES Definition (FAO 1993): Growing period of less than 120 days: moisture deficiency; low and unpredictable crop and livestock production; Arid (150 – 550; Semi-arid (550 – 850) and hyper- arid (< 150) mm p.a.

Irrigated land holdings are small and cultivated inconsistently 2. Output from many small schemes not documented • Estimates from what might be ideal may be inaccurate. • Irrigation water is inadequate or inefficiently used 3. The low scale of production, low yield of grain and crop residue can only confer low benefit to integrated livestock i.e. may not attract livestock from pastoralism 4. Irrigated Pasture and Fodder Production in Mandera and the associated business has sufficiently excited many pastoralists • However, intensive production has not resulted. Water is not the main limiting factor. Ocra Consultants 17 Key Factors affecting pasture and fodder yields Temperature (Ideal for tropical spp – 30-35°C) Many pasture species can grow at high temperatures prevailing in Kenyan ASAL if water is available Rainfall is the most critical Luxuriant growth follows the rains Irrigation would ameliorate lack of rainfall if yield could pay for its infrastructure and labour costs Ocra Consultants 18 Probable explanation for lack of expansion Returns do not pay for labour investments. I imagine that profit is such a great motivator that sufficient profits would motivate continuous cultivation to the extent limited by other factors Cultural values: This may not be true? Water inadequacy: This may be true in Turkana and maybe Isiolo Cost: To meet pump and fuel costs Farm inputs (seed, fertilizer (and pesticides??) Insecurity of land tenure?

  • Chapter 3. Crop-Environment Interactions in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Environmental Policy Update 2012 Environmental Policy Update 2012: Development Strategies and Environmental Policy in East Africa Chapter 3. Crop-Environment Interactions in Sub-Saharan Africa Nicholas J. Papanastassiou 1 Environmental Policy Update 2012: Crop-Environment Interactions in Sub-Saharan Africa By Nicholas J. Papanastassiou Executive Summary Over 200 million people throughout Africa are chronically hungry or malnourished. Low crop yields throughout the continent are a key contributing factor: cereal yields in Africa are 40% below that of the developing world average. This low productivity is caused in part by environmental constraints. Overcoming constraints and ameliorating negative environmental effects associated with crop production is a critical step in Africa’s development. The research question addressed by this chapter is: What are the critical resource requirements and impacts of major crop systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, and what known mitigation and adaptation strategies are available to address them? Based upon an in-depth literature review of peer-reviewed articles, papers, and reports from major agricultural research organizations and scientists, this chapter presents an overview of crop-environment interactions for maize, legumes, and sweet potatoes/yams. Crops in Africa face poor soil fertility as a common pre-harvest constraint. This has caused yield reductions of up to 48% in maize in Tanzania, over 50% for yams in Nigeria, and losses of up to 75% in legumes. Many farmers, especially those growing legumes and yams, do not have access to fertilizers to overcome this. Many crops also face disease infection during production: downy mildew causes up to 80% yield losses in maize, leaf spot causes up to 60% yield losses in legumes, and the sweet potato feathery mottle virus infects up to 100% of sweet potatoes.
