Book (stand-alone)Strengthening potato value chains
Technical and policy options for developing countries
2010Also available in:
No results found.This publication is based on the proceedings of the workshop "Strengthening Potato Value Chains in Developing Countries" held in November 2008, in Rome, Italy, and hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC). The workshop was held within the context of the International Year of the Potato (IYP), which was facilitated by the FAO Plant Production and Protection Division (AGP), in partnership with the Intern ational Potato Center (CIP). The workshop was designed to review the current state of potato value chains in developing countries and identify the key constraints to a better functioning value chain, especially the role of the seed sector in providing the chain with a consistent quality product. It also provided a forum for discussing opportunities to re-engineer value chains to enhance food security and rural development, to counter cereal price infl ation and to identify how development agencies, national authorities and the private sector can support value chain activities. The valuable contributions made at this forum by many individual participants are very much acknowledged. Their inputs and discussions were fundamental in developing a series of technical and policy options that will now help lay the foundation for sustainable potato-based systems and value chains. -
Book (stand-alone)Nutrition-sensitive value chain analysis for carrot and papaya in Al Batinah North, Oman 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Sultanate of Oman is experiencing a nutrition transition, characterized by shifts in diet, lifestyle and disease burden. The National Nutrition Strategy of Oman 2014-2050 and the Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Strategy SARDS 2040 have emphasized the importance of adequate intake of fruits and vegetables while decreasing the consumption of energy-dense foods. FAO collaborated with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources (MAFWR) and Zubair Small Enterprises Centre (Zubair SEC) to conduct an inclusive Nutrition Sensitive Value Chain Analysis (NSVCA). The geographical focus was on Al Batinah North, one of the main agricultural governorates in Oman. Two commodities were selected by MAFWR and the Ministry of Health based on a scoring method: papaya and carrots. This NSVCA aimed at mapping the current landscape of constraints and opportunities in supply and demand of safe and nutritious food commodities across these two value chains. It focuses on SMEs related to food and agriculture, farmer organizations, smallholders and other actors along the value chains. The NSVCA contributes mainly to SO1, SO3 and SO4 through improved knowledge of the food system in Oman and providing a variety of evidence based intervention and investment opportunities along the value chain. The findings will allow decision-makers to identify specific policy interventions which will leverage the potential of these value chains for both income generation and better nutrition outcomes.
