Elements of Integrated Management• Awareness – entire range of value chain actors
• Advocacy – continental (PACA), regional, national, investors
• Technology
• Training – farmers, transporters, traders, regulators, consumers
• Policies – standards, harmonization, trade
• Institutions – regulators, markets, testing, private sector
• Trade / Markets – food/feed processors, poultry/fish industry
• Public good – home consumption; urban and rural markets; WFP, HGSF
Agriculture Based Prevention of Aflatoxin-related Food Security and Health Effects
• Pre-harvest
– Resistant cultivars, if available
– Biological control, e.g., aflasafe
– Irrigation and water conservation practices
• Post-harvest
– Sorting
– Insect control
– Improved drying and storage
– Food/feed processing methods
– Alternative uses including blending

Awareness and training
• Aflatoxin is a hidden problem
• Chemical analysis required
• Awareness is low
• Long incubation for expression of health impacts
• Regulations either non-existent or poorly enforced
• Market does not usually discriminate
• Demonstration of product value – health & income
• Lack of biopesticide manufacturers
• Too many components in integrated management –
some are not special for aflatoxin management
Risks / Challenges
Dr Akin Adesina
Policy Statement:
Honourable Minister of Agriculture, Nigeria
“All parties involved, led by IITA and
the government, have critical roles to
ensure that Aflasafe treated food
crops are successfully introduced into
the market in the next 5 years”

Pilot Implementation
• Value chain-centric: Farmers’
interest as the foundation of the
action
• Action-oriented: Using practical
methods to actively solve
problems, not just talking about
ideas, plans, or theories
• Innovation platform: problem
solving through actors working
regularly together to address
issues and common challenges.

Nigeria, feed manufacturers,
maize aggregators, aflasafe

and regulators
• Poultry farmers to buy all
aflasafe maize at a negotiated
premium
• Agriculture ministry to fund

www.iita.orgA member of CGIAR consortium
• Smallholder farmers’ cooperative with professional
management
• Credit, inputs and technical services
• Yield enhancing practices
• Aflatoxin awareness
• Aflasafe use
• Aflatoxin testing – 100% met standard
• Incentive for meeting aflatoxin standard
• Warehousing
• Output marketing – linking to market
• Return profit after sale
• Farmers keep part of the harvest for family use
G-20 AgResults Aflasafe
www.iita.orgA member of CGIAR consortium
• Pull mechanism – Aflasafe is one of the first three pilots
• Provides incentives after demonstrating adoption
• Private sector driven, but focused on smallholder groups
• Implementers provide credit, inputs and technical services to
increase yield
• Aflasafe purchased at cost to improve quality
• Maize tested for aflasafe strains; if present in large frequency,
the implementers incentivized with $18.75/ton maize
• Implementers negotiate maize sale at premium
• Project provides aflatoxin awareness, training of
implementers, and identifies potential market linkages
• Target: 200,000 ha in 4 years
Likelihood of success
• Has the potential of reducing aflatoxin levels
by up to 95% or more
• Biocontrol by itself can reduce toxin levels by
more than 80%
• Other technical approaches can perform
supportive functions
BUT
• Success will be determined how well policy
and institutional frameworks are
implemented
Partners• Who is, needs to be, involved to make this research get to
scale
Return on Investment• Nigeria and Senegal major groundnut exporters in
1960s. Compliance has economic incentives
• Senegal:.
• Increased export volume and price differential would
annually add $281 million value to groundnut export.
• For confectionary groundnut, adherence to Good
Management Practices would increase export value
by US$ 45 million annually.
• Best quality exported; poorer quality consumed
domestically.
• Biocontrol: ROI – 5 to 25 times for cancer reduction.
167,000 DALYs could be saved.
• More work needed

Punch Line
• Impact of aflatoxins have several development dimensions:
– post-harvest losses, nutrition, health, crops,
livestock, fish, trade, markets, policies, institutions
and politics
• Reduction of aflatoxin will improve human health, increase
farm income, improve profitability of animal industries,
increase regional and international trade, and reputation of
African products in global markets
