1 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP FOOD SECURITY VIA VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF A NEW KENYAN POTATO CHAIN AGRIPRO WORKSHOP

2 GOALS, SPIN OFF & PARTNERS Goals & spin off GOALS CREATE THE FIRST VERTICALLY INTEGRATED KENYAN POTATO VALUE CHAIN THAT PRODUCES 143,000 TONNES OF CONSUMER POTATO PER YEAR IN KENYA; ESTABLISH A POTATO ENABLING ENVIRONMENT; PPP GOALS (PHASE I) REALISE POTATO KNOWLEDGE THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE CHAIN (OUT OF WHICH +/- 12,500 SMALL HOLDERS) BASED ON THESE TANGIBLE RESULTS, THE CURRENT RISK FOR PRIVATE INVESTORS WILL BE LOWERED. OTHERS WILL FOLLOW OUR EXAMPLE AND WILL ALSO INVEST IN KENYAN POTATO SECTOR. HENCE A NATURAL EVOLUTION INTO PHASE 2 FULLY REALISE KENYA S POTATO POLICY AND THIS ITS FOOD SECURITY GOAL REALISING A PROFITABLE CHAIN FOR ALL SMALL HOLDERS: AFTER PPP (PHASE II) REALISE A JOB GROWTH OF 50% IN RURAL AREAS (AROUND 400,000 JOBS); BOOST THE POTATO TURNOVER AND YIELDS AT SMALL HOLDERS UP TO 950% RESP. 550% 5 TIMES LESS WATER AND 5 TIMES LESS LAND WILL BE NEEDED TO REALISE THE SAME AMOUNT OF POTATO 2

24 SOCIAL CASES Job creation 6,000 NEW JOBS CREATED ACTIVITIES Due to top quality input material, knowledge transfer and small holder automation, potato yields per Ha will grow from a current 6 tonnes per Ha to 27 tonnes per Ha (for independent small holders) and to 30 tonnes per Ha (for small holders that collaborate in a co-operative). As a result of this efficiency boost, the amount of jobs at small holders will also grow. We structured the type of jobs in two categories, namely potato growing and potato logistics POTATO GROWING Potato growing includes activities such as planting, harvesting and fertilisation. We foresee the largest growth in jobs at harvesting (twice a year) and to a lesser extend at growing (realisation of planting beds). POTATO LOGISTICS TOTAL IMPACT Potato logistics includes activities such as sorting, storing, packing and transporting. A growth in all such logistical activities is foreseen. Taken the two growing seasons per year, we expect to realise at least a job creation of 50% at the small holders (6,000+ jobs), out of which at least 60% women. 24

25 ENVIRONMENT + CLIMATE CASES (i) Efficiency improvement ELEMENTS 5 TIMES LESS LAND + 5 TIMES LESS WATER + 2 TIMES LESS FERTILIZER FOR SAME AMOUNT OF POTATO Due to top quality input material, knowledge transfer and small holder automation, potato yields per Ha will grow from a current 6 tonnes per Ha to 27 tonnes per Ha (independent small holders) and to 30 tonnes per Ha (for small holders that collaborate in a co-operative). INTRINSIC This automatically results in efficiency improvements for the environment too: to realise a similar amount of potato (kgs), we need up to 5 times less land and 5 times less water. Moreover potato is the crop that from all possible crops - that provides the highest nutrition value for the smallest amount of water and the smallest amount of land needed. We will also introduce effective crop rotation programs, that will improve the quality of the soil over the years. ADDITIONAL Moreover we will introduce the concept of potato beds. As a result less water is needed too Finally we intend to optimise the use of fertilizers at small holders. We also foresee an optimised use of fertilizers, and for a similar yield of potato we expect to use 2 times less fertilizer. 25

26 ENVIRONMENT + CLIMATE CASES (ii) Potato improvement ELEMENTS 90% REDUCTION OF DISEASES / VIRUSES DISEASES / VIRUSES Currently it is estimated that 80% to 90% of all potatoes in Kenya suffer from viruses and diseases. We expect that by using our input material at co-operatives we will lower this to 5%. NUTRITION VALUE INCREASE The current Kenyan potato cooking varieties having 12%-15% of dry matter content and as a result a low level of starch. We will also introduce fresh potato varieties having 20%-25% of dry matter content and as a result a higher level of starch. Measurement of such varieties will be realised via realised placements on the variety lists and presence of such varieties in our demo fields. 26
