  1. Coalition for African Rice DevelopmentCreating a platform for synergies • 17 November 2012 • Hiroshi Hiraoka, ex-coordinator, CARD Secretariat

  2. Let us start with trivia… • Which of the following African countries have larger consumption of rice than Japan (per person per annum)? • Madagascar • Nigeria • Sierra Leone • Uganda • Cote d’Ivoire • Guinea • Kenya • Liberia

  3. HOW WE STARTED

  4. How we started

  5. How we started (1000Mt) PRODUCTION ANDCONSUMPTION OF RICE AFRICA, 1960 - 2007 Widening Demand-supply Gap + Food Price Crisis Productivity Improvement is essential Green Revolution in Africa

  6. How we started Area: x 1.3 • Need to consider intensive production Yield: x 2.2 AFRICA Asia Yield: x 1.4 ASIA Area: x 3.3 Africa

  7. Our goal Double rice production in SSA (28 MT per year by 2018) All aspects of value chain Rice AEZs Capacity development South-South Cooperation Inputs Irrigated On-farm technology Rain-fed lowland Rain-fed upland Post-harvest Marketing

  8. How we started Economic development Food security Self sufficiency Sustainability Rice sector Development Market-oriented or subsistence ? Extent of modernization

  16. CREATING A PLATFORM

  17. Neutral Position

  18. Different interests… Money ends, love ends Risk of co-financing Money! Co-financing! Budget! What remains there? Under staffing (only 2) Fund!

  19. How we serve our partners? Bilateral DPs African Governments Interventions Quality Quantity Research Agencies Multilateral DPs South-south Partners NGOs

  20. Platform Common views Logics Frequent exchanges Capacity that remains Synergies Development Partners African Governments

  21. Objectives • Increase investment for rice-related development mainly through existing funding framework • Develop capacity of SSA Governments to effectively manage rice sector development as well as to secure government funding / donor investment • Provide enabling environment for rice-related investment both for development agencies and SSA Governments

  22. Objectives • Better coordinate interventions based on the shared view on rice development (NRDS) • NRDS: in line with overarching development framework (PRSP, CAADP)

  23. SOME DETAILS

  24. Question • What are the key elements of successful rice sector development?

  25. Common views - Matrices A tool to monitor the sector development systematically

  26. Matrices - Free distribution / subsidies by the public sector - Free distribution / subsidies by the public sector

  27. Matrices - Irrigation system - Rainfed lowland development - Irrigation system - Rainfed lowland development

  28. Matrices - Researchers - Extension staff - Farmer group - Farmers - Researchers - Extension staff - Farmer group - Farmers

  29. Matrices - Trade policy (im-ports, cross-border) - Profession groups (e.g. farmers, pro-cessors, traders) - Trade policy (imports cross-border) - Profession groups (e.g. farmers, processors, traders)

  34. Prioritization “Choose 8 cells for investment for the next funding opportunities”

  35. Operationalization: Identification of Priorities

  36. Concept notes List of priority interventions • Multiplication facilities • Distribution facilities • Free distribution / subsidies by the public sector • Full irrigation facilities • Low-land rain-fed facilities • WUA (collective resource management) • Factories / workshops • Quality standard • Operators of processing, packaging • Operators of storage • Staff for quality inspection • Provision of financial capital for credit scheme

  37. The weapon List of priority interventions + Gap Analysis + NRDS Multiplication facilities NRDS

  38. … and here we go! DPs Multiplication facilities NRDS Private Sector CAADP Gov’t Budget

  39. Not badly off… (* ) METASIP: Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan

  47. PRIVATE SECTORSOUR NEW FRONTIER

  48. Private sector • Green revolution in the 21 century is different from that of the 1960s and 70s. • Governments have much fewer resources (like it or not!) since the structural adjustment • Re-definition of the roles of the public sector • Rigorous definition of “public goods” • From a player to a facilitator • Rice: cash crop and food crop • Private sector is THE key

  49. Diverse context High investment Low investment Variety: market-oriented Variety: stress resistant Self sufficiency RURAL Self sufficiency RURAL Income Income RURAL RURAL URBAN Urban market zone Stability Safety Price Quality Small scale regional marketing IMPORT

  50. Some more… • Growing large commercial investments – examples: • About 1.5M ha in 13 SSA countries with 29 land deals, investors mainly from outside continent, 48% of 45 global rice land deals, 3% of 924 global land deals [Land Matrix DB] • Ghana – 5,000ha in 5 years in Sogakope, invested by Global Agri-Development Company (GADCO), sold to local market under its own Copa brand, with $10M by Seattle-based hedge fund Summit Capital and with $1.5M by NY-based Acumen Fund • Ghana – Grow Africa: The Ghana Commercial Agriculture Project (GCAP), a joint project of the Government of Ghana, World Bank and USAID
