  1. Background Fruits&Vegetables : a global priority Comparatives avantages to share Added-value of partnership Africa/SSA a priority for Europe Consider all value chain : from fork to farm Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  2. Existing international coopération on vegetable CIRAD - World Vegetable Centre (AVRDC) [CIRAD-INRA] – AVRDC TUM Urban Harvest, RUAF, WUR, …IDRC… Nothing on fruits, except bananas (INIBAP) Only bilateral cooperations Strong perspectives with GlobalHort Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  3. Challenges F&V = High value products (cf CG priorities + GFAR/CG workshop on HVCs) High nutritionous crops (cf WHO/FAO initiative on the promotion of F&V for Health) Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  4. WHO/FAO Expert Consultation, 2003 and Kobe meeting, 2004: - Recognition of positive health effects of fruits and vegetables - But consumption far below the recommended 400g pday/cap in many DCs - Wordwide 2.7 millions lifes could be saved through better nutrition with F&V Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  5. Statement • Tropical fruits an vegetables: • Under-researched crops and products ( fruits, leafy vegetables,..) • Underutilization (Often considered as luxury crops) • High post-harvest losses (perishability) • Irregular supply (seasonality) • Threatening pests and diseases (global change) Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  6. Goals • Increase consumption (health…and well being issues) • Increase availability, affordability, acceptability • Income generation • Reduce PH losses • Eco-friendly production ( IFP) • Certification of planting material Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  7. Research activities • Genetic resources/improvement: • Citrus, Mango, Papaya, banana, pineapple,… • Tomato, pepper, cabbage,… • EU projects: Cibewu, EU-Sol,… • IVIA, ICIA, Univers Cordoba…… Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  8. Research activities • Integrated Production : Ecological components Ecophysiology/Quality IPM/ICM –Ago-ecology • Plant certification • Environmental impacts: risk management • EU projects : Seamless, Kassa,.. • WUR, UCL, Fusagx, Univ. Bologna,.. • HortResearch, QDPI,… • Carbap, Iita, Icipe, Avrdc, … Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  9. Research activities • Post-Harvest Management : • PH physiology • Storage techniques • Soft/minimum processing • NRI,…. • USA (Usda), Brazil (Unicamp,Embrapa,..), Costa-Rica (Cita), Benin (UAC), Senegal (ITA)… Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  13. Methodological approach 1- Diagnosis: current productions & markets 2- Short term: How to move from current chain to added value chain? 3-Medium term: New product development? 4- Long term: Diversification? Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  14. 1- Diagnosis: « Land use » teams 2- How to move from current chain to added value chain? - cultural practices, water management, IPM, ICM, soil management - IFP/IPHM - assessing and anticipating markets, certification - Actors: co- modelling participating research, credit, capacity building, entrepreneurship, training,….knowledge sharing platform Workshop - Challenge Program High Value Crops - ICRAF House, Nairobi, Kenya

  15. 3- New products development ? - Participative breeding for new varieties - New products with high value attributes ( organic, nutritious, tasty,…) - Water an soil management 4- Diversification? - New crops to sustain HVP?
