Commodity development interventions in LIVES
Dirk Hoekstra
LIVES Project Launch Workshop Addis Ababa, 22 January 2013
![Page 2: Commodity development interventions in LIVES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55890d5fd8b42aaf488b4699/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Selected farmer produced commodities
• Livestock– Milk/local butter – dairy– Live animals – large and small ruminants– Eggs/broilers – poultry– Honey (raw, semi processed) - apiculture
• Irrigated agriculture– Vegetables– Fruits– Fodder (linked to livestock)

Producers and markets
• Producers– Rural small scale mixed crop livestock farms (all products)– Rural specialized farms (live animals, apiculture, fruits and
vegetables)– Urban/peri-urban speciliased farms (fluid milk, poultry)
• Markets– Urban - processed and unprocessed raw products– Rural – mostly unprocessed and farm processed products– Export – processed and unprocessed products

Focus of the project
• Interventions for farmers and small and medium scale agri-business enterprise level in clusters of districts
• Linkages with federal/regional agribusiness (projects) for supply of inputs and services and sale of products
• Linkages with federal/regional service providers for information and quality control

Potential value chain intervention
• Production interventions
• Input and service supply interventions
• Processing marketing intervention
![Page 7: Commodity development interventions in LIVES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55890d5fd8b42aaf488b4699/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Production interventions
• Increasing production, productivity and income of livestock and irrigated crop commodities– Distinguish between different farm types/systems and
production – Improved breeds/varieties– Improved crop/livestock husbandry practices, including
use of improved inputs/equipment, planting schedules, post harvest, quality
– Increased business size with help of credit – animals, irrigated crops
– Increased percentage of high value commodities in irrigation schemes

Input/service supply interventions
• Improved production of animals and crops by individual farmers and communities – Animals/insects (bee colonies, hatchery -
pullets multiplication, community breeding small ruminants)
– Fruit nurseries– Vegetable seed/seedling producers– Fodder
![Page 9: Commodity development interventions in LIVES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55890d5fd8b42aaf488b4699/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Input/service supply interventions
• Improved services by public & private sector (including cooperatives)
– Animal and crop health services by private and public sector using thermo stable vaccines, improved diagnostic equipment
– Reproduction of large ruminants using hormone assisted mass insemination, private sector involvement
– Water management in schemes by cooperatives and water user associations through business oriented practices
– Pump repair services

Input/service supply interventions
• Linkages between federal/regional agri-business with village/district/zonal level agri-businesses– Irrigation equipment– Veterinary drugs– Agro-chemicals
• Linkages between federal/regional level suppliers of improved breeds and varieties with District level multipliers – Certification of producers of seed/seedlings
![Page 11: Commodity development interventions in LIVES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55890d5fd8b42aaf488b4699/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Processing and marketing interventions
• Improved marketing and processing of crop and livestock products by district/zonal level cooperatives and private entrepreneurs– Introduction small scale processing equipment– Bulking produce for marketing– Formation of collective marketing structures for
prodcuers (formal and informal)– Contract farming
![Page 12: Commodity development interventions in LIVES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55890d5fd8b42aaf488b4699/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Processing and marketing interventions
• Linkages between federal/regional agri-businesses with district level processors and traders– Export abattoir– Commercial honey processors– Fruit and vegetable whole sale traders/producers
• Linkages between district/village level service providers and federal level service institutions– Livestock and crop prices – EXC and LINK– Information – Associations (horticulture, apiculture,
dairy) and projects– Quality – Bureau of Quality and Standards, EIAR

Gender in vc development
• Greater involvement of women (female headed HH, married women) in value chain development– Involvement in capacity development and knowledge
management activities– Targeting women for commodities and specific vc interventions
• Butter in rural systems - production• Poultry – egg/broiler production, pullet • Small ruminants - production• Fruits – seedling production
– Use of women friendly technologies (modern hives, mechanized/conservation tillage)
– Women involvement in cooperative structure and water user groups

Environment in vc development
• Assessment of environmental impact and mitigating measures and synergies – Use of crop residues for fodder – declining soil fertility –
crop rotation, use of manure– Use of agricultural chemicals - integrated pest
management, awareness creation– Zoonotic diseases in intensive livestock systems –
awareness creation, zoning– Climate effect – methane – increased
production/animal– Grazing area development synergy with apiculture and
down stream irrigation
