This document discusses Vietnam's billion dollar cassava export industry and its importance for smallholder farmers. It notes that Vietnam has exported $1-1.35 billion annually in cassava starch and dried chips for the past 6 years. Cassava production has rapidly increased across Vietnam in different agroecological zones, driven by expanding domestic and global demand. However, Vietnam's dependence on China as an export market makes its farmers vulnerable to volatility in Chinese agricultural policies and commodity prices.
CIAT's cassava program in Asia has the mission of creating a sustainable cassava production system through agricultural innovations. The program's objectives include aggressively introducing germplasm for screening, developing high-yielding disease resistant varieties, establishing pest and disease surveillance, and developing robust seed systems. The program consists of interlinked projects in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia focusing on production, marketing, value chains, and policy recommendations to improve rural livelihoods. Cassava is a key crop in Asia traded widely within the region and competing globally as a source of carbohydrates.
The document summarizes Egypt's food and beverage sector. It outlines that the sector accounts for 4.7% of Egypt's GDP and has grown at a compound annual rate of 15% from 2011 to 2016. The sector is expected to continue strong growth in exports and value added products. Regulations and standards are overseen by agencies such as the National Food Safety Agency and Industrial Development Authority, while the Chamber of Food Industries and Food Export Council represent industry interests. The document also examines economic trends in Egypt and the country's vision to become one of the top 20 economies by 2030 through continued reforms and development.
WHEAT: The Vital Grain of Civilization and Food SecurityCIMMYT
Wheat is a vital staple crop that is grown on 215 million hectares worldwide, an area equivalent to the size of Greenland. Nearly $50 billion worth of wheat is traded globally each year. Wheat provides a key source of protein for many developing countries, and is the dominant staple crop in North Africa and Central Asia, providing up to half of daily calories. Meeting rising global demand for wheat by 2050 will require growing 60% more wheat than today. While improved varieties and practices have increased wheat production since the 1960s, extreme weather and market instability have caused price spikes that harm poor consumers. Continued development of new wheat technologies and policies can help meet accelerating global demand in a sustainable way.

1) Cassava is a drought-resistant crop that is a staple food and source of income in many African countries. It can remain in the ground for years after harvest.
2) Mozambique has seen increasing cassava production in recent years through improved varieties and farming methods. However, the value chain is not well developed, and most cassava perishes after harvest.
3) The Export Trading Group plans to establish a large-scale cassava processing plant in Mozambique to produce higher value cassava products like starch, flour and processed leaves. Captive farming and outgrower schemes will supply the plant and improve food security.

Cassava: Hidden Ingredient in Global Supply ChainsJonathan Newby
This document summarizes the history and current state of cassava production and trade in Asia. It notes that cassava was introduced to Asia in the late 18th-early 19th centuries and is now a major crop. Cassava production in Asia has gone through four phases driven by policy and market changes. Currently, Thailand and Vietnam are two of the largest cassava producers and exporters. The document also discusses cassava consumption, trade flows, and opportunities and challenges for continued development of the Asian cassava sector.
This document discusses the livelihoods of smallholder cassava farmers in Laos. It finds that most farmers grow cassava along with rice and raise livestock. Cassava production has expanded from subsistence to more commercial as Laos has increased cassava exports to Thailand and Vietnam. However, declining soil fertility and lack of soil management practices threaten the long term sustainability of cassava farming. The document proposes working with value chain actors and farmers to increase adoption of improved production and resource management techniques to develop a more sustainable cassava sector.

Presentation at GCP21 Conference in the session of Cassava Mosaic Disease in Asia to highlight what is at stake with disease potentially impacting the productivity of this important commercial crop.
Livestock contributes significantly to GDP in Eastern and Central African countries, ranging from 10-40% of GDP. A study identified milk as having the highest potential for growth and economic gains in the region. Investing in the livestock sub-sector could result in the second highest regional GDP gains after staples. However, production is not keeping up with demand growth due to population increase and diet changes. All ECA countries import milk and meat. Key opportunities exist to improve genetics, nutrition, veterinary services, and market access through standards harmonization and trade policy reforms to boost the livestock sector. Priority investments include research, production technologies, value addition infrastructure, market information systems, and an enabling policy environment.
Summary
1. African livestock markets are growing fast: they are as
attractive as, if not more attractive than livestock markets
in other world regions
2. Milk, beef and poultry markets will provide major business
opportunities, which differ by geographical region
3. On paper, all types of livestock producers could be efficient
and tap into growing market opportunities: but do all of
them – and in particular the smallholders – have enough
incentives to invest in livestock?
4. Policies and instititional reforms are ky to ensure that
markets are utilized to promote an efficient and equitable
growth of livestock
This document summarizes a presentation on opportunities for economic growth in sustainable cassava value chains for smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia. It finds that in the short term, low returns, debt, and declining farming areas pose challenges, but adopting existing technologies can boost yields and income. In the medium term, underlying demand for cassava products provides opportunities if production keeps pace with substitutes across scales. In the long term, new technologies and markets present opportunities for economic growth. The document reviews cassava markets, production challenges, and 2017 workplans to address opportunities through demonstration trials, household surveys, and policy engagement.
The document summarizes the challenges facing the African cotton industry. It notes that world cotton prices collapsed in 2013, endangering the industry in West and Central Africa where cotton is a main export crop. While Asian countries dominate production, cotton is extremely important for some African economies like Mali, where it represents 10% of GDP. However, cotton farmers face volatile prices, competition from subsidies in developed countries, and environmental and health issues from pesticides. The industry is seeking to add value through processing and niche markets like organic fair trade cotton to address these challenges.
Strengthening value chain linkages to improve profitability and sustainabilit...Jonathan Newby
This document discusses strengthening value chain linkages to improve the sustainability and profitability of cassava production in Southeast Asia. It outlines how mapping value chains can help identify opportunities to link smallholder farmers to input and output markets. The document also stresses the importance of involving value chain actors when evaluating new cassava varieties and agricultural technologies, and facilitating dialog between stakeholders, in order to effectively scale technologies and support livelihoods.
This document summarizes the global cassava market and key trends affecting supply and demand. It discusses how cassava competes with substitutes like maize and how relative price changes impact land use and production. Recent developments like African Swine Fever reducing demand in China and the spread of cassava diseases like CMD threaten the industry. Data on production, exports, and prices in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries provide context on the structure and competitiveness of Asian cassava value chains.
The document discusses the importance of rice production in Ethiopia, current trends, and challenges. It notes that rice production has increased significantly but imports have increased even more, decreasing self-sufficiency. While demand is growing, productivity remains low compared to imports. Key challenges include low yields, lack of processing technologies, inadequate market development and human resources. Strengthening research and development partnerships is seen as critical to transforming Ethiopia's rice sector and reducing its reliance on imports to meet demand.
- Global coarse grain production in 2015 is forecast at 1,306 million tonnes, about 2% lower than 2014, mainly due to lower maize output in the US and EU.
- World coarse grain trade in 2015/16 is forecast at 169 million tonnes, down 3.6% from 2014/15. Maize trade is expected to fall to 126 million tonnes.
- Total coarse grain utilization is forecast to increase 0.8% to 1,303 million tonnes in 2015/16, with slower growth in feed and industrial use expected due to lower production.
The document outlines Cambodia's agricultural transformation over the past 10 years and identifies opportunities and risks going forward. Key changes include increased productivity, expansion of rice milling, changing labor patterns, and infrastructure growth. Driving forces were policy reforms, investment, technology adoption, and higher food prices. Sustaining growth requires improving the business environment, public-private partnerships, skills development, and strategic national programs. The diagnostic study will analyze four commodities across regions using surveys, focus groups, and comparing to a previous study to inform Cambodia's agricultural roadmap.

This document discusses opportunities in the global agricultural sector, with a focus on opportunities in Nigeria. It notes that global demand for agricultural produce is increasing due to population growth, urbanization, rising incomes, and other factors. This is putting pressure on grains and cassava production. It also discusses the increasing global demand for protein as middle classes and incomes rise. Specific opportunities mentioned for Nigeria include investing in arable land, cassava production, fisheries, poultry, and animal husbandry. The document provides statistics and analysis to support these points.
1. The global food system is facing challenges from rapid urbanization, changing diets, and environmental degradation while malnutrition persists.
2. Conflict is a key driver of hunger for 74 million people and famine risk is rising.
3. Rapid urbanization and growth of the middle class is changing diets and increasing pressure on food systems while the food industry expands globally.
This document discusses the effects of international agricultural trade policies on food security in East Africa. It finds that while farm support is declining in developed countries, it is increasing in emerging economies, distorting some global commodity markets. This has contributed to higher and more volatile international food prices. In East Africa, some countries have improved food security but there is variability within the region. International trade competition is growing but regional trade opportunities also exist. The document recommends strengthening East Africa's common trade policies, improving the business environment for farmers, and mobilizing resources to support agricultural development goals.

1) Global demand for meat, milk, and eggs is rising rapidly in developing countries, where smallholders currently produce much of the supply.
2) Transforming smallholder livestock production into a more productive and resilient system can help achieve several UN Sustainable Development Goals and benefit women and youth.
3) Livestock research plays a key role in this transformation by developing solutions to improve productivity, health, feeding, and management practices for smallholder farmers.
Evolution of animal production in emerging markets: China, Russia, India, Bra...ILRI
The document discusses trends and trajectories in global animal agriculture between now and 2050. Three key points:
1) Demand and production of livestock products are rapidly increasing in developing countries, especially in places like China, India, and Africa. This is driven by population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization.
2) Smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems will experience some of the greatest changes and opportunities. These diverse systems in places like Africa and South Asia offer opportunities to close yield gaps and reduce disease and emissions.
3) Plausible future scenarios depend on uncertain variables like climate change, technology, and disease outbreaks. This could lead to scenarios like sustainable intensification or climate-related crises
Regional trade is important for Kenya's food security. Trade agreements with COMESA and EAC countries allow Kenya to import staple foods like maize when facing deficits, which helps stabilize food prices and supplies. However, cheap food imports also act as a disincentive for domestic production. Overall, regional trade benefits consumers through lower food prices but hurts producers and farm laborers by reducing incomes. Kenya requires policies to better redistribute food surpluses, improve infrastructure to reduce trade barriers, and support domestic agriculture.
The document summarizes commodity market developments and their implications for specific agricultural sectors, as well as an outlook on commodity prices. Key factors driving up commodity prices are discussed, such as growth in global population and income, China's increasing demand for resources, and the impact of biofuels production. Challenges facing meat producers from high feed costs are also noted. The outlook suggests that even as prices decline, they will remain above 2004 levels on average. The document concludes by reviewing recent policy responses in various countries to high food prices.
This document discusses opportunities and threats for Irish agriculture. It notes Ireland's strengths in grass-based dairy production and its ranking globally as the 10th largest dairy exporter. Population and economic growth worldwide will drive increased demand for proteins. Opportunities exist for Ireland to expand dairy production after EU milk quotas end and to access growing global markets. However, threats include price volatility in global markets and high production costs reducing competitiveness versus countries like New Zealand and the US. Overall the conclusion is that Ireland is well positioned for agricultural export growth by meeting demand for premium proteins, if stakeholders work to improve farm efficiency and address volatility issues.
Wherefore livestock? Does animal agriculture have a role in future food systems?ILRI
The document discusses the role of animal agriculture in future global food systems. It notes that demand for animal source foods is rising rapidly and livestock production has high economic value but also environmental and health impacts. However, unpacking the data reveals opportunities for livestock to contribute to sustainable economic growth, livelihoods, nutrition, and ecosystems, especially through smallholder systems. Improving productivity and feeding practices of smallholder livestock could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting rising demand for animal proteins.

This document discusses using satellite data and crop modeling to forecast crop yields in Mozambique. It summarizes previous studies conducted in the US, Argentina, and Brazil to test a remote sensing crop growth and simulation model (RS-CGSM) for predicting corn and soybean yields. For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
