Abstract This paper evaluates the value chain of cassava through crop accounting and financial analysis in Partido district, Camarines Sur, the Philippines. Cassava (Manihot esculenta), locally known as “kamoteng kahoy” is well-known for its ability to produce a reasonable yield in poor soil conditions with less or no farm inputs. This is the reason why cassava is often grown by resource-limited farmers and is regarded as a good source of food security. To analyze its productivity, this study was conducted in 2019. Data gathering was primarily done through focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Results revealed that different gender roles exist where men are primarily responsible for farming while women are for marketing. It also discovered the reason why farmers, though provided with options, often choose the less profitable transaction path, due to perishability of crop. It also solved the mystery of low productivity in this locale as compared with the national and international production. Typhoons, government policies, and pricing mechanisms affect its overall productivity. Cost build-up, value-added, and cost and returns analyses are interesting. Farmers are less profitable yet have the highest opportunity for profitability when the constraints are addressed while sellers have a high degree of profitability due to fewer input costs. The existing entry barriers in each chain were also identified, along with the researcher’s recommendations on how to eliminate or mitigate them. The study can be useful to stakeholders of cassava in designing intervention mechanisms to tap its full potentials.

Chain Analysis

Abstract IntroductionMilk production in Ethiopia is done largely by the smallholder farmers in the high lands and in low land areas of the country. However, the Ethiopian dairy production and market systems face severe constraints like poor genetics, insufficient access to proper animal feed and poor management practices all contribute to the low productivity levels. Similarly, dairy producers and downstream actors in the value chains face many challenges in getting milk to market. Hence this study analyzes dairy products value chain. MethodsValue chain analysis framework and financial analysis were used. Result and conclusionThe dairy value chain is complex involving multiple actors and their interaction. The major direct actors include input suppliers, small holder farmers, village collectors, cooperatives, semi processors, hotel and cafés and consumers. Besides indirect actors such as supportive and regulatory service providers are also involved. Though all actors have positive profit margin, the largest share goes to hotel and cafés. The financial analysis along the entire value chain shows that Producing and marketing of dairy products is profitable and creates higher value added. Concerned body should improve access to services and collective actions to enhance local value additions and Smallholder milk producers must be organized into dairy cooperative groups and subsequently into dairy unions.

<p>Coconut export sector in India of late gained an outward orientation, especially since the Coconut Development Board was elevated to the status of export promotion council in the year 2009. In the recent period, the growth rate experienced in the coconut based value added products has been stupendous. Since there is an attempt for global value chain up-gradation at the production node of the sector, it is imperative to analyse our strengths in the world market in comparison with the major competitors. We have used the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) methodology to analyse India’s competitiveness in the exports of major coconut value added products traded across the world. The study revealed that, as far as the coconut value added products are concerned, India is comparatively a very small player with paltry export market shares. The analysis of RCA revealed that comparative advantage of India is lower than the major coconut exporting countries like Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. The Philippines is the dominant player with highest RCA indices in most of the coconut value added product lines. The study suggests the need to formulate plausible strategies to reach the overseas market and capture the optimal share in market segments. Though we have a strong domestic market base, it is an indubitable fact that in the near future due to the evolving trade agreements even in the domestic sector we may confront fierce price competition from the overseas imports. Hence we need to chalk out modalities and execution plans to elevate our export competitiveness and comparative advantage.</p>

This study on ‘Value Chain Analysis of Fish in Meghalaya: A case study in East Khasi Hills district’ has been conducted in 2020-21 with specific objectives (1) To map the actors involved in the value chain of fish business. (2) To estimate the value addition in fish marketing by the value chain actors. The value chain actors were identified and the structure of the value chains was mapped. The study revealed that the most commonly followed method of value addition of fish in the study area are fermenting, drying and smoking. The cost incurred for making fermented fish was observed to be ` 21.50/kg, ` 16.50/kg for dry fish and ` 37.50/kg for smoked fish. Additionally, net profit was found to be highest in value-added fish than compared to fresh ones. Therefore, value addition should be encouraged among fish farmers to increase net profit.

<p>As a region with the largest oil palm plantations in Indonesia, Pelalawan Regency is highly potential to develop a program of oil palm-cattle integration. Pelalawan has implemented the program legitimated by Regent Decree Number KPTS./524/Disnak/2012/472 regarding Zoning Regulation on the development of Oil Palm-Cattle Integration. The program of oil palm-cattle integration itself has been the basis for the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 105 Year 2014 regarding the Integration of Oil Palm Plantation and Beef Cattle Farming. Moreover, the integration system of oil palm-cattle gives a lot of benefit to farmers, for example the utilization of manure as organic fertilizers could reduce farmer’s expenses for chemical fertilizers and the cattle can be an asset for them. Products made from the integrated program are solid manure, liquid organic fertilizer, fodder, biogas, and beef. To improve the competitiveness of those activities, we can analyze the value chain which includes product design, inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing, sales, services and supporting activities. By using a value chain analysis, this study aims to provide recommendations for strengthening programs which could be implemented to improve the value-added of the products.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: oil palm-cattle integration, value chain, value-added, industrial cluster</p>

The study was focused on Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of rice (in the transition to organic) in Region 02. Specifically, it aimed to: a) map out the value chain of rice in transition to organic by identifying the processes, actors and their roles from inputs to product consumption; b) identify and analyze the constraints and issues affecting production and marketing of organic rice; and, c) recommend policy options to improve the production and marketing of rice in transition to organic in Region 02. The study covered five (5) provinces namely: Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino. There are six sectors covered by the study along the value chain of organic rice such as Business Development Services (BDS) providers, farm input suppliers, farmer producers, processors, traders/retailers, and consumers. Organic rice in Region 02 is in infant stage which the different sectors engage in a small or minimal volume of operation. There are few registered as organic rice producers in the region. BDS is working effectively their role as the provider of support services to other sectors in the value chain of rice. Greater share of value-added incurred by processers (millers) and institutional buyers/traders of the finished product. All sectors in different provinces in the region need support on physical facilities, technological, financial and market linkage from government and non-government organizations to strengthen their operations on production, processing, and marketing of organic rice.

The aim of the study was to map out value chains for transmitting genetic material, estimate gross margins and value added by each artificial insemination (AI) service providers, and recommend ways of improving AI services. Regulators, agents, trainers in artificial insemination and dairy farmers were interviewed in nine counties, namely Kisii, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Kakamega, Bungoma, Nyamira, Bomet and Trans Nzoiafor three weeks in the year 2017. Ninety AI inseminators, 32 regulators, 18 distributors, 6 trainers, 10 para-veterinary officers and 10 importers of genetic material were interviewed through key informant interviews. A total of 114 farmers were interviewed through a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics (percentages, means) were used for data analysis. Results show that the Kenya Animal Genetics Resource Centre (KAGRC) handled 70% of the genetic material. Bull service had about 16% of the market share. The main challenge for farmers was repeat cases of insemination thus questioning the quality of artificial insemination. The AI trainers with better technical skills such as KAGR Conly trained 1% of the farmers interviewed. Gross margins for inseminators were Kenya shilling (KES) 163/dose for local semen and KES 660 for imported semen, thus making it difficult to earn a decent living from distribution of local semen. Transport cost was 37% of the total cost. To increase gross margins, inseminators should give veterinary services andencourage farmers to use AI services. County governments should reduce cost of transport. Traceability of inseminators and of semen distribution should be done to reduce exploitation of farmers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out the distribution of benefits, costs, and value added among the actors and problems in the practical management in dairy milk value chain, especially in one of the most important dairy areas in Vietnam to see how they upgrade in the value chain. Design/methodology/approach A survey was carried out in Bavi, Hanoi where a large amount of fresh milk is produced annually. The content of the survey was built before conducting in Bavi with 160 questionnaires. The questionnaires were based on the criteria which reflect the main objectives of the paper such as the actor’s profits and costs, the relationship among these actors, and the advantages and disadvantages in the dairy milk’s value chain. Some part of results of the paper was evaluated by conducting interviews with the relevant target groups in the value chain of dairy milk. Data collected were aggregated and analyzed by SPSS20, Excel. The calculation of cost and profit margin of each actor in the chain was also be presented by a quantitative tool for value chain analysis. Findings This study pointed out the systemized problems in the value chain of one of the biggest dairy companies in Vietnam. This study revealed some wicked problems in the value chains of Vietnam under globalization. Research limitations/implications This study could not cover all of the detailed actors in the dairy value chain. Originality/value The value of income in the chain is distributed unequally. The benefits that farmers receive are inadequate with the costs they have to pay. This is a particular chain, in which the main factors boosting the chain are factories, and an increase in revenue also reflects the benefits of them. The result is that the value added in the chain is also biased toward the dairy plant. The paper also pointed out the shortcomings in the cost calculation of farmers. All the expenses, such as wages and the opportunity cost, are calculated in the total cost of the dairy plant, whereas dairy farmers do not mention these costs. Thus, in terms of benefits, farmers suffer more disadvantages, thus they should be received more value. In terms of management, Bavi’s authorities could not manage the output of milk in the perfect way. The lax management has led to a series of counterfeit goods that appear on the market today. These low-quality products are sold right on the highway and the Bavi’s tourist destination.
