Sustainable High-Value Horticultural Production for Smallholders through SCAMPIS

SCAMPIS aims to boost high-value horticultural production by smallholders through the dissemination of low-cost, high returns technologies such as micro-irrigation systems, organic fertilization, and natural liquid foliar sprays. The objective of SCAMPIS is to improve production, income generation, nutritional objectives, and commercial production for smallholders through the use of affordable and sustainable agricultural practices.

  1. Low-cost / high returns technologies disseminated through SCAMPIS 3/ Organic fertilization And natural liquid foliar sprays 1/ K 20: Microirrigation “bucket” kits ( 44 or 88 plants-20 sq.m.) 2/ K 100 : “drum kit” for 100+ sq.m.

  2. SCAMPIS Objective : boost high-value horticultural production by smallholders through the sustainable supply of affordable Micro-irrigation systems -MIS, Liquid Organic Fertilizers and accompanying services … Production ? Income generation Nutritional objective Commercial production Self-consumption 40 m2 100 m2 500 m2 Area of Irrigated plot 2

  3. National policies on horticulture , water management and drip irrigation promotion Technical assistance Training and capacity building Input supply Market-oriented approach to low-cost MIS and LOF diffusion Poor farming families Local NGOs & producers associations Local suppliers Time-bound, targeted subsidies Promotional activities National suppliers IFAD project’s contribution SCAMPIS ressources use IDEI specific Know-how

  5. Adoption rate Saturation Maturity IV III Growth II Emergence I Time Technology adoption rate SCAMPIS time span

  6. Key determinants at introduction stage… • Need to quickly work through market forces (involve private sector for dealership and services ) • Though the SCAMPIS financing is time-bound, withdrawal from intervention areas is not an option, therefore sustainability of the supply chain is a must for post-project period • A consequence is that : whereas the initial direct subsidy for equipment purchase is inevitable, it must be quickly phased out; the subsidy scheme must be well publicized and understood by clients .

  7. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (1) Intervention Supply chain management Direct involvement in order processing , subsidization of equipment purchase Facilitates co-ordination and linkages between supply chain members By SCAMPIS staff directly Gradual handing over to supply chain Promotion Quality control Highly controlled and centralized Shifting to supply chain with periodic quality checks by SCAMPIS staff Value chain management for agric.produce Assistance to smallholders’ produce-based organisations for value-chain development Identification of op- portunities and partners

  8. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (2) Intervention After sales service Facilitate supply chain and new alternative channels to stock spares Extra spares with product Assistance in getting quality seeds; Validate MIS + LOF-based fertigation; Train input suppliers Understand local requirements and facilitate appropriate delivery and stock-keeping Quality input supply Agronomic advice Assistance from IFAD-sponsored project + SCAMPIS staff Organize technical support programs using local resource persons from village, govt. officials, NGOs etc.

  9. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (3) Intervention Crop selection • Assist in selection of crop to be grown/ diversification • Facilitate training on cost benefit analysis, production , post-harvest and processing techniques, best practices Nil Information and market access • Facilitate the setting up of agri-service centres ? • Train farmers on how to use information for better returns • Connect farmers with partners for niche markets Nil

  10. The low-cost Micro-irrigation systems -MIS technology is conducive to self-targeting Typology of potential uptakers : Producers with access to market already secured type « C » : 5% of total? farmers +/- involved in specific produce supply chains type « B »: 15 % Subsistence smallholders type « A »: 80 % ? LEGENDE: Potential MIS clients Farmers type SCAMPIS essentially targets ( 1/2 ?) type A producers to help them access to type B …

  11. A vision of SCAMPIS as a change agent in its area of intervention….: Producers with access to market already secured type « C » : 5%? NOW: farmers +/- involved in specific produce supply chains type « B »: 10 % ? Subsistence smallholders type « A »: 85 % ? in 10 YEARS: type C : 10 % ? LEGEND: type B : 25 % ? Farmers type Potential Low-cost MIS clients type A : 65 % ? Regular Low-cost MIS users
