  1. Thirty-sixth Regular Meeting of the Executive Committee · August 23-24, 2016 · Comprehensive Risk Management in Agriculture

  2. Sources and impact of risk in agriculture • Resource degradation • Sanitary and phytosanitary • Climate related INSTITUTIONAL • Decreased output • Postharvest losses • Decreased product quality • Variable, unfavourable prices • Marketing opportunities lost MARKET FINANCIAL IMPACT PRODUCTION HUMAN

  3. Previous work in IICA • 1972: Commercialization Program, commodity exchange markets. • 1989, 5th IABA Meeting: Plan for the Recovery of Agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean. • 1999, 10th IABA Meeting: Climate change. • 2005, 13th IABA Meeting: Agricultural insurance. • 2014: Flagship Project “Resilience and integrated risk management in agriculture”. • 2015: Analysis and strategy for integrated risk management in family farming based agriculture (CEPAL-FAO-IICA).

  4. IICA’s approach to comprehensive risk management

  5. Risk evaluation and prioritization • EXAMPLES: • Latin America: Capacity development in integrated and agribusiness risk management. • Central America: Early warning system for coffee rust. • Argentina: Impact of HLB and phyto-sanitary risk management. • Chile: Departament of Risk Management, MAG. • 9 documents, 5 methodologies, 1 web plataform, more than 3000 participants.

  6. Risk mitigation and adaptation • EXAMPLES: • Caribbean countries: Financial risk, access and elegibility to financing mechanisms. • Andean countries, USA, Argentina, Costa Rica and Antigua: Experiences in control of snails. • Colombia, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, USA: Resilient rice production, rice intensive system. • 20 documents, 15 workshops, 4 methodologies, soil maps, 1 regional web plataform, genetic materials identified, more than 1000 participants.

  7. Risk transfer • EXAMPLES: • Hemispheric: State of the art and performance of agricultural insurance in the Americas. • Peru Chile and Mexico: Horizontal cooperation among countries on price stabilization instruments. • Haiti: With support from Canada, microfinance and agricultural insurance. • 3 publications, 1 methodology and 1 workshop.

  8. Response to emergencies and ex post recovery • EXAMPLES: • Ecuador: Reconstruction of zones affected by earthquake. • Belize: Support to agricultural sector post Earl hurricane. • Haiti and Dominican Republic: System for quarantine strengthened, with support from USA. • Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela: Control of avian flue.

  9. Vision towards the future • Greater exposure of agriculture to sources of risk. • Comprehensive approach to risk management. • Greater emphasis on: • Policies, instruments and tools • National plans for risk management • Mitigation and adaptation programs • Appropriate technological innovations: • Information technologies to anticipate climate related, market, sanitary and phytosanitary risk. • Technologies to prevent degradation and improve use efficiency of water, soil and genetic resources. • Diversification, conversion and production activities.
