USAID Interventions and Results in Agriculture Exports at Dawn ExpoBabar Malik
?
This document summarizes an presentation on interventions and results in Pakistan's agriculture exports by USAID. It provides an overview of Pakistan's major agricultural sectors including fruits/vegetables, livestock/poultry, and fish. It outlines USAID's priorities in the agriculture sector and describes market-responsive strategies developed. It then details several USAID interventions supporting exports of mangoes, dates, citrus, and more. Results so far include over $63 million in sales revenue and $20 million in exports, creating 8,500 jobs. Finally, it discusses international trade potential for key crops in global markets.
This document discusses the challenges faced by agricultural producers and exporters in meeting international quality standards. It notes that quality is imperative for exporting agricultural commodities and competing globally. Proper communication with farmers is needed to ensure quality is never compromised. Standards define whether a product is fit for trade, so producers must implement practices like GAP, GHP, HACCP and meet requirements for traceability, record keeping, pesticide use, and more. India needs to focus on quality preservation, food safety, and infrastructure to increase agricultural exports from its large production.
The document discusses India's advantages in agriculture such as diverse climates and abundant arable land, and its leading global production of many fruits and vegetables. It outlines issues with the current supply chain such as fragmented land holdings and lack of infrastructure and post-harvest technology. It proposes solutions like contract farming, cluster approaches, and implementing supply chain management practices to improve competitiveness through quality, cost reductions, and supplying products just in time.
India wastes a significant amount of agricultural produce, around 40% of total horticulture. Post-harvest losses range from 2.8-18% depending on the crop. Only 2% of agricultural produce is processed. Strategies are needed to improve value addition and processing through primary and secondary processing, by-product utilization, supply chain management, and marketing. Contract farming can help by establishing fixed or market-linked prices and quality standards. Companies like Harrisons Malayalam Ltd are working to address these issues through sustainable agricultural practices, social initiatives, and partnerships with small farmers. National strategies are also needed around comparative advantage, policy, skills, financing, technology, and sustainable resource use to transform Indian agribusiness.

Overall the presentation emphasizes the importance of postharvest processing and value addition to reduce losses, improve incomes, and ensure food security in Nigeria.
The Irish seaweed industry has historically focused on supplying raw materials but is now diversifying into higher value products. [1] It peaked in the 1970s with over 100,000 tonnes of production annually but has since consolidated to around 25,000 tonnes, still dominated by agriculture. [2] Recent investment and new entrants have emerged alongside a greater research focus on value-added products in food, cosmetics, and animal feed. [3] Fully realizing commercial opportunities requires addressing gaps in mechanization, standards, marketing, and innovation through industry collaboration and support.
Food processing transforms raw agricultural products into value-added products for human and animal consumption through processes like preservation, drying, and addition of food additives. This industry is significant as it promotes linkages between agriculture and industry, generating employment and income while reducing food waste and inflation. However, in India, processing levels remain low despite large agricultural production, and most processing is primary rather than higher value-added secondary processing. Challenges include traditional preferences, infrastructure gaps, and low consumer awareness, though government initiatives aim to address these through schemes supporting infrastructure, exports, and skills development.
- The document presents a pre-feasibility study for a fruit juice production facility in Iraq, analyzing factors such as raw material availability, production costs, market demand, and financial viability.
- A financial model for a proposed "model" facility indicates it could achieve a 19% return on investment but has a long payback period and high break-even production level, raising concerns about commercial feasibility.
- Key outstanding questions that require further investigation include identifying an investor, selecting a fruit type and production location, and assessing market demand and pricing strategy.
