Vision model of the value chain

We aspire to see increased income and hence improved livelihood of subsistence farmers (both male & females) from irrigated vegetable production through effective and efficient irrigation water utilization and proper technology use with out depleting the existing natural resource basis within the next six years.

Transporting and storingReduced transportation costs and post harvest loses of vegetable products ProcessingIncreased number of processing companies that add value to vegetable productsMarketingEffective and efficient marketing system established that increase the benefit of producersConsumptionHealthy and quality nutrition from vegetable consumption

Constraints

ProductionKnowledge Gap in disease and pest IdentificationPesticide and fertilizer application lacks Scientific backgroundPoor agronomic practiceWatering frequency and amount is not based on crop water requirement .

ConstraintUp -Down Stream Issue( Watershed managmt)Water Pump and accessories cost and taxationMaintenance of pumps and canals Salinity, Siltation and Conservation Residual impact of Pesticides and fertilization Infrastructure in the west( Road, institutions, Collective OwnershipResource Use and Human Factors( willingness, interest, motivation, behaviors, participation )

ConstraintInput Supply and ServicesAssessment of varieties suitability to ecologyHybreeds are used for subsequent productionNo regulation on quality, expiry date, storage Inputs provided by non-professionals and supply inconsistency New varieties/technologies are not released frequently and multiplication is a problem

ConstraintProcessing and MarketLimited Value addition through processing25-35% losses due to post harvest handlingShortage of containers and transportationBruising and damage during picking, packing and transportPrice is not based on quality and gradingFew traders dominate the marketLimited market information and intelligence

LinkageLinkage Between producers and technology generators is not strong. Only Model farmersLinkage B/n consumers/supermarkets and producers/technology generators is weak.Extension service providers linkage with technology generators is not strong Unions, traders have weak linkage with other actors

OpportunitiesExistence of market oriented agricultural policy(export promotion and import substitution )Increased demand for vegetable consumption due to population growth and incomesAvailability of resources(labor,land and water)Favorable climate for growing vegetables

Required knowledge and capacities to realize the visionExpertise in irrigation agriculture and technologyFood science and safetyAvailability of credit institutionsEquipped farmers training centresEffective support system from Gos and NGOs

Required Services Effective and efficient support systems for resource poor farmers(men and women) making them access to water and land resources. Concern for environmental sustainability, partnership among rural actorsResponsibility and commitmentExpansion of infrastructureNatural resources endowment (Water, land, labor, climate and etc)

Required enabling environmental conditions to realize the vision

Environmental management through integrated water shed management approach so as secure continues irrigation water supply from the sources

Vision: We envisage an increased income and improved livelihood of small scale farmers through effective and efficient irrigation water utilization and proper technology use for fodder production on sustainable natural resource basis.

ActorSub-VisionInput supplierProvision of inputs in the required quantity, quality, affordability and timely for the producer

Provide quality and quantity inputs timely which will satisfy the target groups

Service providers Effective and efficient service delivery system on sustainable base in the value chain system

Provision of services by the private sector in accordance with the needs of fodder farmers MarketingEffective and efficient marketing system and commercialization of fodderProductionIncreased production/productivity of quality fodder through efficient utilization of water resources on integrated watershed management base
