Potatoes in Bangladesh
The major problem: Late blight
(Phytophthora infestans)

Late blight
Yield losses in Bangladesh: 25-60%. Fungicides to control late blight, but.... ...Too late or early, too much or little, or not the proper
type of fungicides:
● High environmental, health and financial costs ● Low yields, resource use efficiencies and profits

GEOPOTATO - project
Objective Improve resource use efficiencies and profits in potato
production by providing a decision-support service for small farmers to control late blight How? By combining:
● Geo data ● Models ● ICT tools

What do we want to achieve?
Increased potato yields and production Increased farmer profit (expected 8,000 – 21,000 BDT/ha) More effective use of inputs, especially fungicides To have reached 100,000 farmers in 3 years Commercial viable late blight advice service for farmers

Challenges & opportunities
Challenges: How to reach and gain trust of 100,000 farmers? Acceptability of advice by farmers Reliability of weather forecasts Mobile network in rural areas Opportunities: Smartphone offers customized late blight service alerts Late blight alert is interesting for other service providers The data, models and ICT tools can be easily used for
other services (yield monitoring and forecasting)

Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies (BCAS)
Dwelling on long experience and reach team of skilled professional in advanced remote sensing BCAS will assist the GEOPOTATO team with advanced processing satellite images
BCAS will generate GIS and remote sensing based information to the team on crop assessment
crop health assessment
Change detection through out cropping season
Environmental analysis
Irrigated landscape mapping
Yield determination
Make ready the satellite data to be used for forecast generation Make ready satellite data for web-enabled services or web-based platform BCAS: provide weather data measurements of Bangladesh for the service as the service
has a control step in the weather forecasting with actual measured weather data . BCAS: Help to contract and support farmers to participate in this service ( BCAS would
collect and process meteorological data from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) and prepare them forecast generation in conjunction with satellite data

• Our vision is a just world without poverty. A world where
people claim and assume their rights in a sustainable society. We believe that exclusion and scarcity, created and aggravated by unequal power balances, are the main drivers of poverty.
• ICCO takes an active roll in empowering for change. It calls for us to take an enterprising, result-driven and outward looking attitude. In all our work, it is not only the end result that counts: the process too, has an intrinsic value in boosting civil society.
• ICCO is the largest NGO in The Netherlands for agribusinesses in emerging markets. In 2013 we invested € 83,5 million. We advise and finance agribusiness entrepreneurs to support inclusive and sustainable business development in these markets.
• With 7 regional and 15 country offices and 335 employees in more than 44 countries we work local. We have alliances with more than 900 local partner organizations and support 146 programs.
• ICCO has been active in Bangladesh since 1971. We have worked with 22 local NGOs over these years. Our current projects include: PROOFS, SanMark CITY, Convening and Convincing.
