4. Vision and sub-vision of the commodity To see sustainable, stable, safe and demand driven vegetable production and doubled income of smallholders (female and male) through improved use of vegetable varieties, efficient use of water, nutrient and pest management, post harvest technologies and marketing.

Value chain stages Sub - Vision/model Transportation and Marketing

Efficient and reliable market services implemented through linkages between producers, market actors, public service providers and market information provision.


Market demanded, safe and nutritious vegetable products supplied by value addition and standardization.


To See a sustainable and timely functional input supply and credit services in place through involvement of the private and public sectors.

Production Vegetable production improved in quantity and quality through increased production area and productivity.

5. Opportunities and constraints in each stage of the value chain

Value chain stages Opportunities Constraints Transportation and Marketing

Transportation and marketing infrastructure, high market demand for vegetable products

poor handling of vegetable products, weak linkage between producers and consumers, weak negotiation power of producers


Presence of infrastructures, emerging processing plants and availability of cooling facility at airport

Poor post harvest storage facilities, lack of skill & capacity of producers


Increased demand of farmers for uptake of improved inputs, existence of d/t coops and saving institutions,

Less involvement of private sectors, inadequate seed supply, high price of water lifting technologies, lack of spare parts and maintenance services, high price of fuel,

Production

improved watershed management leads to improved surface/ground water recharge, availability irrigation potential, diverse agro-ecology, availability of tissue culture lab.,

Low quality and quantity of production, prevalence of pests and diseases, low availability of technologies, absence of staggered production plan, low involvement of producers on high value vegetable crops,
