VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
MILK and DAIRY
Quality determinants in Livestock Management System
Milk Production
OwnerOwner•Recruit herdsmen•Sells/Buys: choose breeds•Determine general management and intensification level •Take on costs and investments•Manage risks
HerdsmenHerdsmen•Graze•Milk:
o Daily milking activityo Insure productivity of the cows by
grazing and watering practiceso Arbitration between calves feeding
and milking: park and make lots…•Supervise animal care: assess and monitor animal health, administrate treatment•Responsibility engaged in case of losses
Cattle= capital/wealth
Income sources in other activities
Grazing/Milking= main activity
Milk= Main income source and staple
food
DECISIONS, SUPERVISION
KNOWLEDGE, MANAGEMENT
MILK MARKETING
• Sold by herdsmen or Abashundas• Low demand, perishability: low quantities, multiplicity of actors• Quality challenges in milk transportation:
Use of Jerry cans Cleaning practices? Dilution
• Low local demand, low prices• No marketing of added value products
7Title
Transportation: new requirement, new actors?
• Cans: requirement for hygiene Volume VS production? Price VS profit? Cleaning? Can parc maintained, with deposit or share… 1st step= Jerrycan
park?• Professionalization of Abashundas: agents contracted for
collection• Local collecting points• Network from collecting points to the cooler
Vehicle?
8Title
Costs and margins changes for existing actors• Costs for the owner• Main margin for the herdsmen• Small margin for Abashundas
• Margin transferred to owner: what will be the share for the herdsmen? Who will accept to milk and graze for salary? Which salary can be profitable enough for both parties?
• Volumes and centralisation of collection compatible with actual transport system?

Inclusiveness of Milk value chain
11Title
• How to include poor, women and youth in milk value chain
development?• Pro-poor development:
Include small scale livestock keepers collecting small quantities Mediation and dialogue for:
Avoiding to evict actors (herdsmen, Abashundas) Increasing on shares and professionalization of these service providers
• Job creation Balance cooperative management and job creation: business and profit
orientation• Women: developing processing activities
Added value creation via processing of milk: Yoghurt Marketing development for local milk products: ghee and bongo Outlet points and demand creation in trading centers and in other markets
Land use planning
• Improvement of breeds and productivity of the cattle for reducing on the size of the herds without reducing the income
• Watering system for the cow, water collection points for improving the productivity and reducing on the pressure on river banks
• Organizing space for vegetable production along the Nile and near the homesteads: regulation and protection of the garden

SUGGESTED WAY FORWARD
Business opportunities
VALUE CHAIN ANALYSISCASSAVA VALUE CHAIN
Cassava and farming systems strategies
16Title
• Major and flexible food security crop (relatively drought resistant, stored in the garden)
• Grown by almost all the farming systems partly for food but also for income
FRESH CASSAVA / DRIED CASSAVA: Two main value chains
Constraints for productivity enhancement
Actual situation• Planting material: introduction and
supply of improved varieties limited, farmers are mostly exchanging stems among themselves
• Fertility management: cassava=heavy feeder Fallows and Rotation: requires
availability of secured/owned land; hardly practiced by small holders and tenants
Intercropping with black eyed peas
• Weed control: Related to fertility management Labor intensive and impacting
productivity
Opportunities• Supply in planting material• Innovation in terms of intercropping and
legumes: black eyes peas and other varieties• Manure-compost value chain development
and introduction of organic fertilizers• Research and innovation regarding weeds
control• Use of oxen for ploughing and weeding
Improving quality and post harvest handling
Constraints • The reliance on sun-drying for
processing of chips creates serious scale and quality issues.
• Processing is Labor intensive• No stationed mechanics
Opportunities• Sensitization about standards and
quality management• Introduction of solar drying
technology• Creation of local processing
plants including drying facilities and cassava grater
• Vocational training for local mechanics
19Title
Improved drying techniques• Raised Platforms- Process hygiene greatly improved• Solar drying- faster drying, contamination controlled (no direct
exposure to the air)
SUGGESTED WAY FORWARD
• Processing equipment: Cassava grater
SUGGESTED WAY FORWARD
Marketing and market opportunities
• Marketing Bulking-coordination Market information
• Unexploited market opportunities: High quality cassava flour (HQCF):
Partial wheat substitute in (pies, pastries, cakes, biscuits, and doughnuts)
Use in livestock feed rations; Energy drinks
• Transport challenges- transport bottlenecks and repeated transactions are very costly given fresh cassava is highly perishable. The bulkiness and low value of fresh cassava can cause transportation costs to be a large share of the final price.
• Storage methods- Although cassava roots survive well underground, this method of storage requires land to remain unproductive. Food security notwithstanding, improved varieties may not survive for long underground.
Specificity of FRESH cassava value chain
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
HONEY VALUE CHAIN IN BULIISA DISTRICT
Honey Value Chain
26Title
Relationship between the Key actors
27Title
Competing for same suppliers
Little cooperation
Results
• Farmer groups impacted negatively (Suspicion)• Probably see one player thriving . Will prices still remain high??• Adversarial relationship
28Title
Opportunities
• Cooperation for greater efficiency• Co investment in equipment• Extension services as a business• Transport services• Pollination services
29Title
VEGETABLE VALUE CHAIN IN BULIISA DISTRICT
Production
Importance of Vegetable value Chain in Buliisa
Constraints
• Poor equipment used for application of agrochemicals e.g. brooms, watering cans
• Absence of agro input shops in Buliisa district.(Masindi, Hoima, Arua)
• Uncertainties around vegetable farming in grazing zones• Inadequate or non existent advisory services.
Opportunities
• Vegetable production areas be demarcated within grazing areas• Use of compost to increase productivity of the land• Simple irrigation systems to sustain production• Use of draught animals technology for transportation
Importance of coordination and planning
35Title
GENERAL CONCERN
• Infrastructures and basic needs have to be provided as a priority to enhance the productivity in the area Roads Power Water Health services
• Loan systems and business incubation centres for SME, including youth and women
