Africa RISING East and Southern Africa Research Review and Planning Meeting,
Arusha, Tanzania, 1-5 October 2012
1. The project• Build partnerships for impact through research on SI of
farming systems through linking farmers to grain legume value chains
• Mobilize stakeholders/conduct value chain analyses to identify opportunities for upgrading, constraints, entry points and leverage nodes
• Catalogue best bet technologies• Map potential partners and networks to support the shift to
sustainable intensification through grain legumes• Vet findings with stakeholders and areas for targeting Africa
RISING research investments
2. Outputs• Production and marketing of grain legumes mapped and
quantified• End-use markets, structure and dynamics of grain legume
value chains mapped; opportunities and constraints identified• Best-bet system components of intensification technologies
catalogued• Key actors, networks and points of leverage to support
sustainable intensification identified• Key stakeholders for innovation platforms galvanised and
strategies developed to improve performance of value chains

3. Lessons: Opportunities • Deficit rural areas, urban markets, regional
markets, international exports markets (import substitution eg poultry feed and meat and eggs)
• Malawi exporting groundnuts/soybeans (Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya)
• Tanzania common beans (Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, DRC, South Sudan, Somalia)
• Zambia cowpeas Botswana, Namibia
3. Lessons: Constraints • Lack of capabilities to supply end-products (volume,
quality, timeliness, price, consistency) => technology• Low productivity/yields => production systems• Poor access to inputs, extension services and
markets• Lack of post-harvest storage• Lack of market coordination/price volatility• Poor road and communication infrastructure• Unavailability of micro-credit/financing• Poor government market regulations and high
transaction costs
3. Lessons: Catalogue best bets• Varieties adapted to AEZs & traits (time to flowering and
maturity, disease or pest resistance, abiotic stress adaptation (eg soil acidity, drought and temperatures)
• Official crop management (time of planting, plant spacing and density, seed treatments, fertilizer types, application rates and methods, weed management, pest & disease management, harvesting time and method, post harvest)
• Unofficial research findings conducted in localized areas or zones such as student or research or NGO or private sector projects do not end up as approved recommendations; yet significant knowledge to the improvement of crop yields
4. Lessons: Market analysis• Tanzania: Export Trade, Mohammed Enterprises, H.S. Imprex, Afrisian
Ginning, J.M. Kambi, Praydsa, Hirago, Commodity United Alliance, Quality Pulse Exporters, Alia, Aklan Malk Mahsen, Edward Philip, Mt. Meru, WFP P4P, Seed firms (52 Seed Co, Monsanto, Eat African Seed, Tanssed, ASA, Pannar/Pioneer), fertilizer firms (Yara, Export Trading, Minjingu, Premium Agro-Chem, STACO, DRTC, Mohamed enterprises, TFC, Nyiombo, Chapa Meli, Mea)
• Malawi: NASFAM, Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation, Rab Processors, Transglobe, Export Trading, CP Feeds, Charles Stewart-Lenzie Mills, Seba Foods, Hugh Fen, Greenland Feeds, WFP P4P, Seed Firms (Seed Co, Demeter, Pannar/Pioneer, Peacock, Funwe, Seed Tech), Fertilizer Firms (Farmers World, Omnia)

4. What worked and didn’t• Hard work to get project running• Timely reporting• Delivery of project outputs by partners• Value delivered (targeting of research
options/private sector/NGOs partners for implementation)
• Not enough time for contracts/joint planning• Not much interaction among researchers• Limited involvement of private, farmer and policy
makers’ stakeholder consultation
Thank you!
