4. Vision and sub-vision of the commodity To see sustainable, stable, safe and demand driven vegetable production and doubled income of smallholders (female and male) through improved use of vegetable varieties, efficient use of water, nutrient and pest management, post harvest technologies and marketing.
Value chain stages Sub - Vision/model Transportation and Marketing
Efficient and reliable market services implemented through linkages between producers, market actors, public service providers and market information provision.
Processing and Packaging
Market demanded, safe and nutritious vegetable products supplied by value addition and standardization.
Input supply and credit services
To See a sustainable and timely functional input supply and credit services in place through involvement of the private and public sectors.
Production Vegetable production improved in quantity and quality through increased production area and productivity.
5. Opportunities and constraints in each stage of the value chain
Value chain stages Opportunities Constraints Transportation and Marketing
Transportation and marketing infrastructure, high market demand for vegetable products
poor handling of vegetable products, weak linkage between producers and consumers, weak negotiation power of producers
Processing and Packaging
Presence of infrastructures, emerging processing plants and availability of cooling facility at airport
Poor post harvest storage facilities, lack of skill & capacity of producers
Input supply and credit services
Increased demand of farmers for uptake of improved inputs, existence of d/t coops and saving institutions,
Less involvement of private sectors, inadequate seed supply, high price of water lifting technologies, lack of spare parts and maintenance services, high price of fuel,
Production
