Opportunities, constraints and intervention options
Presented to launching workshop

Outline–Targeting processes–What are opportunities?
– Irrigated fruits & Vegetables value chain constraints & intervention options• Production• Irrigation practice• Inputs/ services• Processing and marketing • Linkages
– Gender interventions– Environment intervention

Targeting
• Zones• Districts• PAs• Households• Base line data– To set up bench mark

Opportunities
• Market/internal, external• Massive push from government side– Organizational– Institutional– Capacity building– Access to credit/OMF, SMF
• Increased awareness of farmers• Increased awareness of private sectors

Commodities value chain and intervention areas1. Fruits and vegetables production status
– Major fruits:- Banana, mango, avocado, apple ,papaya– Major vegetables:-Tomato, pepper, onion, garlic, cabbage, potato– Intensively produced as cash crop and/or for hh consumption
Major limitations– Knowledge /skill in market focused improved agronomic practices– Productivity/unit area– Marketable varieties and other planting materials– Diseases and pests
Intervention options– Capacity building– Introduction of improved seeds and planting materials from
within and abroad– Integrated/organic disease and pest control

Irrigation practices– Schemes in zones: Sidama 13, Gamo Gofa 40
– In target districts: Sidama 3, Gamo Gofa 9– Numerous artificial dams, hand dug wells, etc
• Water lifting mechanisms in practice– Motorized pumps (2hp-4hp), Rope and
washer, Tridle, manual using bucket• Limitations– Skill and knowledge– Underutilization of schemes/pumps – Malfunctioning of schemes– irrigation scheme management
![Page 8: Irrigated fruits & vegetables value chain for Sidama and Gamo Gofa Zone](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812d13550346895d91efe6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Irrigation cont….• Intervention options– Capacity building– Assessing current utilization status – Strengthening and/or initiating water users
association– Training WUA leaders in leadership skill

Inputs and services supply system• Inputs – Seeds, seedlings, agrochemicals, pumps,
sprayers– Supplied by both public and private traders– Intensively used by farmers
• Limitations– Timely availability and sustainability of supply– Quality– Trustworthiness– Maintenance and services
![Page 10: Irrigated fruits & vegetables value chain for Sidama and Gamo Gofa Zone](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812d13550346895d91efe6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Intervention options• Engaging farmer in input supply service/
for seeds, seedlings• Strengthening private suppliers/ for
pumps, sprayers, agrochemicals• Strengthening public regulatory unit with
manpower and facilities• Strengthening private sector/youth groups
in maintenance and service of
![Page 11: Irrigated fruits & vegetables value chain for Sidama and Gamo Gofa Zone](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812d13550346895d91efe6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Processing and marketing
• Constraints– Focused on local market– Storing and transporting– Value addition – Bargaining power
• Intervention options– Promote collective marketing– Developing certifying capacity – Promoting zone specific brand marketing– better transporting and storing facilities to reduce
losses – Review some NGOs processing experience (ECOPIA,
etc) and scaling out if it sounds feasible

LinkagesConstraints• Less linkage among producers, input suppliers, service
providers and traders at different locations
Intervention options• Facilitate formation of platform for dominant actors• Initiating linkage between farmers and marketing groups
such as wholesealers and retailers at ifferent level• Initiate linkage with private and public sectors seedling
producers with private/public service providers for provision of planting materials, inspection and certification , technical support
![Page 13: Irrigated fruits & vegetables value chain for Sidama and Gamo Gofa Zone](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812d13550346895d91efe6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Gender intervention• Prioritizing women for services ( capacity
building, access to credit, etc)• Introducing HH work loading reducing
technologies• Engaging women business ( seedling
production, agrochemicals trading, small scale processing, etc)
![Page 14: Irrigated fruits & vegetables value chain for Sidama and Gamo Gofa Zone](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812d13550346895d91efe6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Environment• Reviewing impact of each intervention on
environment (positive/negative)– Awareness on negative impact of
agrochemicals/proper handling– Salinity due to excessive irrigation– Depletion of underground water if any– Awareness creation on malaria and other
vector disease spread
