Trends in inclusive business development
• Focus not on outcomes (e.g. equity), but on the process (e.g. productive
integration)
• Downstream focus: clean water, renewable energy
• Upstream focus: agriculture
• BOP become producers of high value cash crops for businesses
• Driven by donors and development finance institutions 50+ IB
programs
• PPP (co-finance, support), inclusive enterprise finance (seed &
patient capital, equity, guarantees)
• Spatial Development Initiatives (SDI)
• Value chain approach

organization creates and delivers value” none are the same

assets)
Equity structures Smallholder shareholdings in commercial entity
Crop management Distribution of responsibilities (e.g. company managed, hired labor, own)
Spatial organization Organization of smallholder production units (e.g. consolidated farm blocks)

THINKING beyond the canopy
Some IBM reflections from CIFOR projects (I)
Limited inclusivity shaped by (self-) selection biases
• Companies impose participation criteria (e.g. land, title, age, labor,
income)
• Smallholder risk propensity is highly variable rarely incorporates the
BOP
Limited impact on smallholder production systems
• Reluctance to abandon subsistence production systems
• Negligible change in subsistence crop production practices and market
orientation
• Irregular revenue flows stimulates irresponsible spending little
reinvestment
Profound changes in local land use dynamics and land-property relations
• Average household land area under production increases significantly
(extensification alongside intensification) ILUC, land scarcity conflict
• Increased individualization and consolidation of land elite
THINKING beyond the canopy
Some reflections from CIFOR projects (II)
Accumulation through independent specialization and employment
• Welfare impacts of participation not pronounced no major changes in
livelihood portfolios o reinvestment in productive assets
• Independent expansion most important determinant of upwards mobility
only small proportion (<1%) with entrepreneurial capacity
• Formal (plantation) employment more effectively produces welfare
gains
High failure rates of inclusive businesses
• Rampant side-selling discourages (further) investment in IBM
• Development of financially viable IBM takes time, resources, and
external support!
THINKING beyond the canopy
Policy challenges
Scalability and replicatability
• No business model is the same! policy focus more on process than
design
• Adaptive capacity and learning produces locally responsive models
• Value chain support organizations critical, especially technical support and
patient capital sources extend profit horizon and encourage LT business
planning
• Balancing need to control supply chain and enhance smallholder autonomy
• External technical support, independent service providers, and interventions
to reduce risk of side-selling (e.g. contract enforcement support, regulation
of (rogue) trading practices, concession systems)
Inclusive business and green growth interactions underexplored
• Sustainability standards and commitments threaten to alienate low
compliance capacity producers and enhance production control imperative
• IB could be effective mechanism to advance climate smart agriculture,
promote intensification, and facilitate smallholder compliance with private
standards
• Innovative public-private governance arrangements needed to streamline
