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. -
Policy briefImproving nutrition in Simbu and Eastern Highlands with nutrition-sensitive value chains: the way forward for the Government of Papua New Guinea 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Highlands region boasts the highest proportion of households engaged in agriculture in Papua New Guinea. Despite this, only one in six children in the Highlands consumes a nutritionally adequate diet to ensure appropriate growth and development. As a result, up to 61 percent of children in the Highlands are found to be stunted and up to 14 percent wasted.To ensure children in the Highlands, as well as women of reproductive age, receive adequate nutrition there is an urgent need to examine food value chains using a nutrition-sensitive approach: from both the supply side (the way foods are produced and made available) and the demand side (factors influencing consumer demand and consumption).Recognizing this need, in 2021 FAO in consultation with government and development partners conducted an assessment to identify requirements to support nutrition-sensitive value chain (NSVC) development in two Highlands provinces: Simbu and Eastern Highlands. The assessment found clear opportunities for stakeholders including national and provincial governments to support NSVC development in the two provinces to not only improve nutrition but to enhance economic and social development.
