Abstract:
Participating in agribusiness value chains is significant for growth and development of an economy. Women have been noted to have low participation in agribusiness activities as compared to men because women face challenges such as inaccessibility and ownership of assets, social cultural hindrances, lower market innovativeness and versatility factors. To reduce these challenges faced by women agri-preneurs, there is need to adopt agribusiness diversification to ensure the success of agribusiness enterprises. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the number of agribusiness lines that female agri-preneurs participate in. This study was carried out in Njoro and Molo Sub-counties in Nakuru County, Kenya between March and August 2023. A standard Poisson regression model was carried out to examine the number of agribusiness lines that female agri-preneurs have to maximize revenue and spread risks associated with post production agribusiness activities such as selling, distribution and value addition of agricultural products. The study sampled 267 female in agribusinesses, both group participants and non-participants. Data processing was done using SPSS and STATA software. The results showed that age, education level, Leadership position, size of agribusiness enterprise, time taken in the agribusiness activities and ability of the female agri-preneurs to borrow loans positively influence the number of agribusiness lines that women agri-preneurs have.

Abstract:
Abstract Investing in agriculture is characterized by a long payback period and therefore requires a competent investment management to control resources attracted to small agribusiness sector. The purpose of the research is to develop an investment management mechanism of small agribusiness and substantiate practical proposals for attracting investments in the development of the farming sector based on assessing competitiveness. The object of the research is small-scale farming households. The subject of the research is investment activity of regional agribusinesses. The article clarifies the theoretical understanding of ‘investment management’ in relation to small agribusiness, and defines the economic tools for attracting investment in the agricultural sector. The authors have developed a phased investment management mechanism, taking into account the factor characteristics of agricultural production. Based on the method of cluster analysis, regional strategic interests and assessment of small agribusiness competitiveness in the agricultural market, the authors have proposed a certain strategy to select peasant farms for the provision of state support. The article has shown the main aspects of investing in small agribusiness and demonstrated the role of state support for peasant farms in ensuring effective manufacturing of agricultural products. The results of the work can be used by regional authorities for the development of management impact on the investment activity of small agribusinesses.

Abstract:
For agribusinesses in developing economies to realize their potential, enhancing their overall performance in terms of capacity utilisation is essential. The objective of thiepaper is to provide information on the determinants of capacity utilization among agribusinesses in Nigeria. Providing this information is necessary to deliver good policies and strategic support from governments as well as providing a favourable business environment that will help agribusinesses reach their potential. This study adopted the survey design. Data were collected from 2014 the World Bank Enterprise survey. Purposive sampling technique was used to select all the agribusiness enterprise categories included in the World Bank data. These categories include food, tobacco, textiles, garments, leather, wood, and paper industries. The data were analyzed with instrumental variable estimation technique. Result from the analysis showed that size of enterprise and legal status were statistically significantly different from zero at 1% level of significance while Experience of top manager was found to be significant at 5% per cent level of significance. The result, therefore, revealed the existence of significant effects of firm characteristics on capacity utilization of agribusiness firms. Among other things, effort must be made to harness the potential of women agribusiness leaders, as well as small agribusinesses in the country as they appeared to be the most efficient and performing entity in the country. No previous study in the country has been carried out to uncover these determinants and how they can be improved to deliver a robust agribusiness sector.

Abstract:
The objectives are to: determine the efficacy of entrepreneurial training in enhancing youths' employability skills in rural communities; explore the extent to which entrepreneurial training influences the soft skills of Nigerian youths in promoting economic activities in rural communities and; dissect the influences of entrepreneurial training on the hard skills of Nigerian youths in the quest to promote economic activities in rural areas. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed, multi-stage sampling technique was adopted to sample the rural communities and the respondents, and the sample size is 100. The study reveals that the identified agricultural opportunity during entrepreneurial training pushed youths into agribusiness (71%), resilience strategy for agribusiness is still strange (62%), thinking creatively has become strategy to grow agribusiness (91%) and, inability to get job pushed youth into agribusiness (71%). It therefore recommends that further training is still needed for the survival and resilience of the agribusinesses.

Este estudo tem como objetivo contribuir para o desenvolvimento da região da Grande São Miguel do Oeste (SC) e adjacências, fornecendo subsídios para o planejamento, a partir do exame da relação produtor - educação rural - realidade conjuntural. Os resultados obtidos no estudo servem para uma melhor compreensão e evolução do "agribusiness", com as possíveis implicações e influências na unidade de produção, educação rural, levando-se em consideração os reflexos da realidade conjuntural.. Este estudo também possiblitita, caso se faça necessário, a visualização da adequação das unidades produtoras, tornando-as mais competitivas e com perspectivas alentadoras para a região Sul do Brasil; também permite que se apresente algumas das tendências contemporâneas e emergentes em relação à educação, principalmente a que trata de educação profissionalizante - no âmbito da agricultura, bem como realça alguns aspectos arrolados pela realidade conjuntural no mundo globalizado e suas expectativas. O estudo está dividido em três partes: a) revisão da literatura b) pesquisa e visitas de campo c) recomendações. Por conseguinte, para melhor entender o tema, estas foram divididas em três grandes áreas de abrangências: produtor - educação rural - realidade conjuntural. Procurou-se avaliar o estágio do desenvolvimento da teoria à luz da literatura (análise documental), comparando-se com as vivências de campo ,proporcionada através das visitas, "in loco", pelo pesquisador e pelos instrumentos de coleta de dados. Os resultados identificam o estreito relacionamento contidos no modelo teórico vigente e futurista, através da análise de resultados obtidos nas respostas dos formulários de pesquisa, diferenciando-se assim a "nova visão de agribusiness" no meio agrícola e no entorno do mundo rural. Os resultados do estudo demonstram que há uma certa insegurança e aflição por parte dos gestores das unidades produtoras agrícolas da região com relação ao seu próprio futuro e, conseqüentemente, o de sua família; contudo o estudo também demonstrou que existem os que já estão buscando informações para não serem excluídos de vez do processo de "Agribusines". Pode-se encontrar, com relação à educação rural, um clima de muitas inovações e mudanças - o choque dos "velhos sistemas" de educação-aprendizagem com a "nova-concepção" de Ensino Profissionalizante - provocando discussões entre dirigentes de instituições educacionais e autoridades do setor "agro-educativo". De outro lado, existem os alunos destas instituições educacionais, preocupados com o futuro da sobrevivência da atividade agrícola e seu sucesso na carreira profissional, diante das mutações no "Complexo Rural". Também, evidenciou-se a necessidade duma definição mais real e ideal do vocabulário "agribusines" em relação a sua aplicabilidade. Pronunciado pela primeira há quase meio século, ainda não se encontrou no português a sua tradução. É necessário entender e compreender toda a sua cadeia para entender o que é "agribusiness". É possível entender que o "agribusiness" seja sinônimo de Complexo Rural, pois sua cadeia envolve a divisão sistêmica do "antes" e o "fora" da porteira da unidade de produção. Para muitas pessoas, o termo "agribusiness" é traduzido como agronegócio, o que deixa ser, em virtude de que o agronegócio pode ser considerado como gestão dos negócios rurais, ou seja, atividades que estão intimamente ligadas com a terceira fase da cadeia - após a porteira, sofrendo fortes influências dos conhecimentos das faculdades de economia, contabilidade, administração (commodities, bolsas, mercados futuros, comercialização, etc.). Também pelo fato de que se implica gestão em qualquer tipo de organização. Para tanto, o "agribusiness" começa muito antes, o que exige um conhecimento mais híbrido e mais amplo por parte do gestor deste Complexo Rural. Assim, o estudo, ora apresentado, representa a evidência de sugestões para o desenvolvimento da região da Grande São Miguel do Oeste (SC) e adjacências, a partir das respostas obtidas e conclusões oriundas da análise documental e da pesquisa de campo

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar se a abertura direta do capital das cooperativas agropecuárias, pela emissão de títulos de dívida (debêntures), possui viabilidade econômica. Para tanto, faz uma revisão crítica da literatura, expondo o pensamento de vários autores sobre os elementos que explicam as origens do movimento cooperativista, as diferenças entre tais sociedades e as firmas de capital, seus padrões atuais de capitalização e financiamento e os principais desafios que lhes são impostos pelos mercados globalizados. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa utilizou a tipologia de estudos de casos, tendo como objeto de estudo, duas cooperativas agropecuárias localizadas no Estado do Paraná, cujos nomes foram omitidos para manter o sigilo das organizações. A metodologia de análise proposta foi estruturada de acordo com as seguintes etapas: levantamento dos demonstrativos financeiros, análise financeira tradicional, análise financeira dinâmica, análise do valor adicionado e análise da viabilidade de emissão das debêntures. Pelos resultados apurados, verificou-se que a abertura direta do capital pela emissão das debêntures não pode ser realizada por toda e qualquer cooperativa. É necessário que estudos preliminares identifiquem seu equilíbrio econômico-financeiro, sua capacidade de pagamento e a transparência de sua gestão (governança corporativa cooperativa). Se os pré-requisitos forem atendidos, a cooperativa agropecuária poderá auferir as vantagens da emissão, dentre as quais se destacam: o planejamento sob medida para atender determinado projeto; a flexibilidade dos prazos, das garantias e das condições de pagamento; os custos menores de captação, se comparados aos empréstimos bancários de curto prazo; a dedução do pagamento dos juros no imposto de renda e a manutenção do controle da cooperativa nas mãos dos associados.

This thesis outlines the theoretical factors impacting dairy profitability. The theoretical portion includes: a general review of production and profit maximization theory, a review of related studies, and an outline of the variables impacting dairy profitability. An empirical study follows using data gathered from three applied technology centers in Utah in conjunction with dairy herd improvement production records for the farms where these data were available. The empirical section includes a synopsis of the methods and procedures used to collect and analyze the data. Regression analysis was used to determine the significant production and financial factors influencing returns per cow; returns to labor, capital, and management; and return on assets. The results indicate that both revenue and cost variables are significant factors of dairy profitability as are various financial measures. The overall most significant variables were dollars of milk sold, price of milk, labor costs, feed cost per cow, and herd size.

Abstract:
While several studies examine the managerial structure of privately owned agribusinesses, few studies take a comprehensive look at publically traded agribusiness firms. Our study examines the historical position of agribusiness compared to the market, and then studies the impact of the global economic and financial crisis. The objective of this study is to pinpoint effects of corporate financial management strategies, commonly researched in financial literature on agribusiness firms’ performance. Through utilizing a quantile regression we find that agribusiness position in times of financial crisis is directly related to firm performance. As we examine internal factors, several interesting impacts of managerial factors emerge. These results are useful for agribusiness firms seeking to improve their performance, as we show which management strategies related to capital structure, and firm size are associated with an increase in profitability based on the performance record of the agribusiness. Additionally, we examine how these factors impact internal financial distress of the agribusiness firms. Our conclusions clarify the impact of traditional financial management techniques on agribusiness firms and lead to questions for further research. Ultimately, the presented research provides a foundational knowledge of corporate agribusinesses financial performance.

Compósitos reforçados por fibras lignocelulósicas e, também, materiais estruturais de origem vegetal, tal como o bambu, vêm sendo cada vez mais empregados em diversos segmentos industriais, tendo em vista a crescente necessidade da sociedade de usar materiais provenientes de recursos naturais renováveis. Assim sendo, este trabalho visa analisar resíduos da agroindústria da produção sustentável de palmito e de coco, que são os caules das palmeiras Bactris gasipaes (pupunha) e Cocos nucifera (coqueiro). O objetivo em caracterizá-los é fundamentar uma via alternativa de obtenção de madeira, considerando os seguintes aspectos: a disponibilidade, a preservação do meio ambiente, o bom desempenho do material e o baixo custo. Neste trabalho foi feita a caracterização microestrutural da pupunha por microscopia eletrônica de varredura e microscopia óptica digital. O comportamento térmico e termo-mecânico da pupunha foi avaliado por termogravimetria e por análise termo-dinâmico mecânica. Foi avaliado ainda o comportamento mecânico em flexão, compressão e cisalhamento na linha de cola de corpos de prova usinados do estipe da pupunha, bem como se avaliou por difração de raios-X a estrutura cristalina e o grau de cristalinidade do material. Além disso, foi feita a caracterização da resistência à abrasão e avaliado o efeito do envelhecimento por absorção de água e por radiação UV nas propriedades à flexão da pupunha. Também foram avaliadas a resistência à abrasão e as propriedades mecânicas à flexão e à compressão do caule do coqueiro.
Composites reinforced by lignocellulosic fibers and structural cellulosic materials, such as bamboo, have being increasingly used in many industrial fields, owing to the growing society need to use materials from renewable resources. Therefore, this study aims to analyze two agro-wastes of the cococnut and heart of palm sustainable production, which are the trunks of these palms (Bactris gasipaes and Cocos nucifera). The main objective is to establish the foundation for an alternative way of obtaining wood, considering the following aspects: availability, environmental conservation, good performance and low material cost. In this work microestrutural characterization of pupunha trunk was done by scanning electron microscopy and digital optical microscopy. The thermal and the thermo mechanical behaviors were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis and by dynamic thermo mechanics analysis. Also rated was the material mechanical behavior in bending, compressing and shearing in the glue line. The material crystal structure and the degree of crystallinity was tested by X-ray diffraction. The resistance to abrasion was checked and the effect of aging due to water absorption and UV radiation in the bending properties of pupunha. Finally we verified the abrasion resistance and mechanical properties of bending and compressing the coconut palm.

Uganda is a developing country in East Africa that faces high poverty rates among a confluence of socio-political issues. In the pursuit of fiscal and political stability, international development organizations are working to create an environment in which business prospers and livelihoods are resilient. Agriculture, in particular, employs 75% of the population and accounts for 85% of Uganda's export earnings. However, many smallholder farmers experience volatile cashflows around crop cycles. Consequently, farmer livelihoods are vulnerable to uncertain growing conditions, market price fluctuations, and financial shocks, such as hospital bills or school fees. Subject to a high degree of uncertainty, it is difficult for farmers to improve their quality of life through agriculture alone. Agribusinesses--commodity traders in particular-are well positioned to help farmers access knowledge, goods, and services to increase yields and improve crop quality In some cases, provision of knowledge, goods, and services aligns with an agribusiness's regular profit-earning strategies. For example, some traders provide farmers with financing to purchase seeds and fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season; the farmer benefits from less cash volatility while the trader ensures crops will be available at harvest. This thesis explores the extent to which trader business strategies might be leveraged to mutually benefit agribusiness growth and farmer livelihoods. Specific goals were to identify common business strategies used by agricultural commodity traders and understand the mechanisms by which certain business strategies also benefit farmers. Semi-structured interviews and subsequent qualitative analysis shed light on the types of business strategies traders adopt. System dynamics modeling was then used to explain why certain strategies can be mutually beneficial. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods yielded unique insight on ways mutually-beneficial behavior might be encouraged.

Ce mémoire propose de mettre en évidence l’évolution de l’agriculture urbaine (AU) et sa progression dans le monde. Cette recherche cherche également à créer une structure d’identification de l’agriculture urbaine, ainsi que d’en présenter un exemple local dans le Sud du Brésil. Le travail est de caractère interdisciplinaire, exploratoire et qualitatif, séparé en deux articles qui répondent aux objectif mentionnés ci-dessus. Pour la réalisation de l’étude, on a fait une révision systématique qui suit le protocole PRISMA, afin de comprendre l’état du chantier de l’agriculture urbaine et pour cela, établir une catégorisation de ses sous-types. Pour une présentation d’un point de vue pratique, une multi-étude de cas dans la région métropolitaine de Porto Alegre (RS) a été réalisée. Les résultats suggèrent que, grâce à un large intérêt pour le secteur alimentaire urbain, il a été possible d’identifier que l’AU peut assumer plusieurs formats, en fonction du domaine dans lequel elle se situe, des personnes et des intérêts en jeu. Dans la municipalité de Porto Alegre, l’implantation de l’agriculture urbaine a montré que quelques catégories sont plus utilisées que d’autres, du fait des aides locales. Les projets d’une partie des iniciatives étudiées se centraient, au départ, sur la communauté, mais, au fil du temps, ils se sont transformés en business, à la recherche de nouvelles opportunités de marché. Les termes de l’AU trouvés dans la littérature scientifique ont été résumés et regroupés dans un framework qui les présente en corrélation avec leurs sous-niveaux. Ce framework peut être utilisé aussi bien comme un outil pour l’utilisation appropriée des termes en lien avec l’agriculture urbaine, que pour aider les parties intéressées à identifier les projets dont ils font partie et les comprendre face au panorama général. L’agriculture urbaine présente de nombreux avantages pour les entreprises et les groupes qui recherche des résultats sociaux ou encore des bénéfices en matière d’éducation, de bien-être et de santé pour leurs membres. L’autre résultat est qu’une part de la population exige des produits alimentaires qu’ils soient écologiquement durables et qu’ils se trouvent à une proche distance du consommateur. Cette recherche est utile pour les responsables de gestion publique, les chercheurs et le public en général.
O agronegócio é um campo multidisciplinar de estudo que se preocupa com o status de desenvolvimento das cadeias de produção de alimentos em todo o mundo. Esta dissertação se propõe a evidenciar a evolução da agricultura urbana (AU) e seu progresso no mundo. Esta pesquisa, também, busca criar uma estrutura de identificação da agricultura urbana, além de apresentar um exemplo local no Sul do Brasil. O trabalho é de caráter interdisciplinar, exploratório e qualitativo, separado em dois artigos que atendem aos objetivos mencionados acima. Para a realização do estudo, foi feita uma revisão sistemática seguindo o protocolo PRISMA, a fim de compreender o estado da arte da agricultura urbana e, portanto, estabelecer uma categorização de seus subtipos. Para apresentação de um ponto de vista prático, um multi estudo de caso na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RS) foi realizado. Os resultados sugerem que, devido a um amplo interesse no sector alimentar urbano, foi possível identificar que a AU pode assumir muitos formatos, dependendo da área em que se está localizada, das pessoas e dos interesses envolvidos. No município e área metropolitana de Porto Alegre a implantação da agricultura urbana mostrou que algumas categorias são mais utilizadas do que outras, devido a incentivos locais. Uma parte das iniciativas estudadas iniciou seus projetos com foco voltado para a comunidade, mas, com o passar do tempo, transformou-os em negócios, à procura de novas oportunidades de mercado. Os termos da AU encontrados na literatura científica foram resumidos e agrupados em um framework que os apresenta, correlacionando-os a seus subníveis. Este framework pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta para uma utilização apropriada dos termos relacionados à agricultura urbana, bem como para ajudar as partes interessadas a identificar os projetos de que fazem parte e compreendê-los em face a um panorama geral. A agricultura urbana apresenta muitas vantagens para empresas e grupos que buscam resultados sociais, tais como benefícios educacionais, de bem-estar e saúde para os seus membros. Outro resultado é que um crescimento no percentual da população que se preocupa com produtos que sejam ambientalmente sustentáveis e se encontrem a uma distância próxima do consumidor. Esta pesquisa é útil para gestores públicos, pesquisadores e o público geral.

Para llevar a cabo el estudio, se realizó una revisión sistemática que siguió al protocolo PRISMA, para comprender el estado del arte de la agricultura urbana y, por lo tanto, establecer una categorización de sus tipos. Para presentar un punto de vista práctico, se realizó un estudio de múltiples casos en la región metropolitana de Porto Alegre en Río Grande do Sul / Brasil. Los resultados sugieren que, debido a un mayor interés en el sector de alimentos urbanos fue posible identificar que la AU puede adoptar muchos formatos dependiendo del área en la que se encuentre, de las personas e intereses involucrados en la misma. Dentro del municipio de Porto Alegre y su área metropolitana, la implementación de la agricultura urbana mostró que algunas categorías son más utilizadas que otras debido a incentivos locales. Una parte de las iniciativas estudiadas inició sus proyectos enfocados en la comunidad, pero más tarde se convirtieron en negocios en busca de nuevas oportunidades de mercado. Los términos de agricultura urbana encontrados en la literatura científica fueron resumidos y agrupados en un marco que discute la agricultura urbana, sus subniveles y cómo están relacionados. Este marco puede utilizarse como una herramienta para un mejor manejo de los términos de la agricultura urbana, así como para ayudar a las partes interesadas a identificar los proyectos en los que participan y percibirlos en un panorama más amplio. La agricultura urbana representa un gran potencial para las empresas, así como para los grupos que buscan resultados sociales, como la educación, el bienestar y los beneficios de salud para sus miembros. Otro resultado es que una parte de la población exige productos alimenticios que sean ambientalmente sostenibles y estén a una distancia cercana al consumidor. Esta investigación puede ser útil para directivos públicos, investigadores y el público en general.

Abstract:
Agribusiness is one of the major forces in global economic devel­opment. Since the 1980s, diversification has been seen by agribusiness as one of the right strategies to improve and increase its status, but the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of agribusiness. In this new context, companies have capitalized on the marketing dimension, shaping their iden­tity to transfer and add value, especially to end consumers. The brand is an intangible bridge that strengthens entrepreneurial capital. The paper aims to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the main players in the agribusiness industry, taking into account marketing performance indicators such as turnover, rating and brand value before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploratory research was performed based on the analysis of sec­ondary data. Given the annual agribusiness reports, the first ten agribusiness­es were generated and analyzed using the rankings on turnover, profit and brands developed by Forbes, Brand Finance and Interbrand. The research clas­sified agribusiness taking into account the market they addressed: B2B, B2C, or mixed formula. Only Nestlé is present in all the rankings. From the rating point of view, the pandemic generated by the new Coronavirus did not pro­duce notable implications on the brand of the big players in the international agribusiness. For Romanian agribusinesses, Transavia, Cris-Tim, Vel Pitar are in the top ten in terms of turnover and brand value. The study emphasizes the complementarity of analyzes and the interdependence between them.

Abstract:
Solving the problem of food security of the population is a challenge at national and global level. The main driving force in this initiative is agribusiness. The aim of the paper is to determine the national and global importance of agribusiness. To achieve it, the following tasks are formulated: a brief description of the leading agribusiness companies in Bulgaria and in the world; considering the possibilities for different types of associations in smaller companies; comparisons of the scale and orientation of agribusiness companies in Bulgaria and in the world. Based on a study of existing rankings for agribusiness companies, it was concluded that in Bulgaria there are small, medium and large successful companies. The most dynamic of them are mainly companies in the grain sector. The world's leading agribusiness companies are mainly European, and many of them are focused on sustainable development, feeding the population and reducing the harmful effects on the climate.

Abstract:
This report details issues surrounding market concentration in agribusiness, particularly in three agribusiness sectors where concentration has increased over time: seeds, meatpacking, and food retail. Market concentration and its impact on competition have attracted growing public scrutiny. Critics argue that many industries have grown too concentrated, with fewer firms competing with one another and a consequent weakening of competition. The report covers the consolidation in each of these industries, explains the driving forces behind increased concentration, and examines public policies aimed at encouraging competition, focusing on the implementation of merger policy.

Full text
Abstract:
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly seen as an enabler to improve and promote efficiencies in global food market systems, and the high penetration rate of mobile phones is playing a catalytic role in developing countries. Mobile-based agriculture-value-added services (agri-VAS) aim to mitigate the information, financial and market access gaps faced by smallholder farmers and agribusinesses in developing countries. Over the last two decades, the number and variety of agri-VAS has been continuously increasing, and their landscape has been evolving. However, many agri-VAS never reach financial sustainability or scale and are discontinued after a few years. Increasing efforts are being made to map the landscape of agri-VAS targeted at smallholder farmers across Africa and Asia. However, insufficient attention has been paid to exploring successful agri-VAS that have small and medium (SME) agribusinesses as their main clients and that source from smallholder farmers. Areas with potential for further study include the following: (a) agribusinesses operating in value chains that are digitized by others (e.g. mobile network operators); (b) agribusinesses that are developing and deploying agri-VAS in-house; (c) agribusinesses using services provided by third-party agri-VAS providers within their value chains; and (d) agribusinesses that develop partnerships with agri-VAS providers to co-develop solutions. This study aims to address the following question: What are the factors behind successful deployment of mobile technologies to improve agribusiness productivity and investment readiness? It aims to analyse agri-VAS that have SME agribusinesses as their main clients, as they are more likely to positively impact the investment readiness of SME agribusinesses than agri-VAS with smallholder farmers as their only clients, which are also the most evaluated type of agri-VAS. The study consists of a combination of secondary and primary research, resulting in: (a) a set of investment-policy and service-design recommendations, based on high-impact, sustainable agribusiness-focused VAS; (b) recommendations on how to improve the body of impact evidence; and (c) the identification of investment opportunities at the agribusiness and agri-VAS levels.

Didoni, A. Effectiveness of agri-business incubation in emerging markets. Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/20240191149.

Full text
Abstract:
Agribusiness incubators play an important role in developing the technology and value chains that let small agricultural businesses thrive in developing countries and emerging markets. Incubators are, therefore, a key contributor to these economies, boosting prosperity and reducing poverty, and there is increased interest in supporting interventions aimed at accelerating or incubating agribusinesses. The topic is especially important now, as public funding is likely to come under pressure in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, scant evidence has been collected on the effectiveness of such interventions at generating additional investments in the sector. This paper remedies this lack. The objectives of this paper are to: (i) identify examples of incubators of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) that have successfully catalysed investment into the agricultural sector over the last 10 years; (ii) identify and analyse types of agribusiness incubators; (iii) provide evidence on the results and impact of the different incubation models and, where applicable and information is available, on gendered impacts; and (iv) draw conclusions on whether interventions aimed at accelerating and incubating SME agribusinesses are effective in supporting increased investment in the sector. There is a dearth of comparative data and peer-reviewed literature around these questions. The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness programme (CASA) has therefore collected evidence via primary research (websites, annual reports and phone calls with key experts and incubator managers), as well as secondary research where appropriate.

Full text
Abstract:
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO's) Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) programme is working to increase economic opportunities for smallholders to step up and trade in growing commercial markets. The aim is to increase investment in agribusinesses that source from smallholder farmers, and to provide evidence-based guidance for creating synergistic relationships between agribusinesses and smallholders in ways that promote smallholders' productivity and commercial potential. This study is motivated by an apparent contradiction: suppliers of capital report a lack of investible opportunities in Africa, while demanders of capital cannot find willing partners to provide capital to them. In spite of significant amounts of private capital being available for investment worldwide (World Economic Forum, 2013; Vitón, 2018), institutional and impact investors have found it difficult to mobilize large amounts of private investment for agribusiness opportunities in Africa. This study identifies strategies for development and impact investment actors to bridge the gap between the risk-reward demands (or adjusted risk returns) of investment capital and the available supply of agribusinesses for investment. The study assesses whether what is needed is different forms of capital, or greater work to provide the pre-conditions for private investment in agri-food systems, or both of these. The resulting analysis addresses the needs and interests of both investors and investment support stakeholders.
