Synopsis (short abstract) This project was developed following a request from the Government of Cambodia, represented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries ( to study the maize (red corn), pig, cashew nut, mango Keo Romeat cabbage, and chicken value chains in the country These commodities were specifically targeted for their potential to generate revenue for local smallholders and other actors along these value chains The studies aimed to provide a comprehensive and in depth understanding of both challenges and opportunities for enhancement The project design included collaboration between the MAFF and FAO, with strong engagement from other relevant stakeholders The MAFF provided strong leadership in implementing the project, as well as in supporting the project team to identify and locate important documents The staff of the MAFF mobilized national and provincial officials to support data collection and data entry for the study.

The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2020 (SOCO 2020) aims to discuss policies and mechanisms that promote sustainable outcomes – economic, social and environmental – in agricultural and food markets, both global and domestic. The analysis is organized along the trends and challenges that lie at the heart of global discussions on trade and development. These include the evolution of trade and markets; the emergence of global value chains in food and agriculture; the extent to which smallholder farmers in developing countries participate in value chains and markets; and the transformative impacts of digital technology on markets. Along these themes, SOCO 2020 discusses policies and institutions that can promote inclusive economic growth and also harness markets to contribute towards the realization of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.

Supporting Value Chain Analysis for Rice and Poultry in Sierra Leone - TCP/SIL/3901 2025

Also available in:

No results found.

In 2015, Sierra Leone had a population of 7 092 113, with 75 percent engaged in farming at subsistence level. The country has a total arable area of 5 440 000 ha characterized by five agroecologies: upland (4 300 000 ha), inland valley swamp (690 000 ha), mangrove (110 000 ha), boli (120 000 ha) and riverine (220 000 ha). The agricultural sector accounts for over 45 percent of the gross domestic product and provides self-employment for most of the rural population. Rice is the staple food: Sierra Leone is a net importer of rice, spending more than USD 250 million annually on imported rice, with production levels ranging between 0.9 and 1.5 tonnes/ha, which is very low. Production levels for other crops also remain low as a result of multiple factors, such as lack of quality seeds and planting materials for high-yielding and early maturing crops, declining soil fertility and the inadequate adoption of new technologies, pests and diseases, limited infrastructure and limited research. Programming in the sector was impeded by a lack of evidence-based analysis along the rice and poultry product value chains.

Value Chain Development of Banana and Citrus in Eritrea - TCP/ERI/3702 2022

Also available in:

No results found.

Eritrea has three major agroecological zones that are ideal for growing diverse crops Horticulture has historically been one of the most dynamic subsectors of agriculture in the country however, value and supply chains could be enhanced significantly through improved post harvest practices and increased commercialization This project sought to sustainably develop the banana and citrus fruit value chains in Eritrea through the provision of technical assistance to the Ministry of Agriculture ( smallholder farmers, cooperatives, research centres and youth and women’s groups Bananas and citrus fruits were targeted by the project because their production levels are reasonably high, but they could be marketed more successfully.
