Main diagnosed findings of the rice commodity
In flood system About 5,500 ha grown under flood conditions during the
rainy season Reduced yield due to weed problems Farmer to farmer seed supply system exists Rice processed into flour (enjera making) and white rice
(outside the district) Breakage of rice during processing
In upland system Desire to include rice as their marketable commodity in the
cropping pattern
![Page 7: Rice value chain development 2005-2011: IPMS experiences in Fogera pilot learning woreds](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561e48cd8b42af10c8b4bdf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Interventions
Knowledge management and capacity development for rice value chain development
Flood plain system Improved agronomic practices – especially weeding
(hand and herbicide) Harvesting time – effecting breakage Rice processing – sieves, parboiling, dish preparations
Upland system Introduce new varieties Introduce seed multiplication
![Page 8: Rice value chain development 2005-2011: IPMS experiences in Fogera pilot learning woreds](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561e48cd8b42af10c8b4bdf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Knowledge management & capacity development• EAP – web based source of
information (www.eap.gov.et)
• Woreda knowledge centers- to increase access and sharing of knowledge
• Use of MSc students to increase knowledge generation
• Training followed by field days with partner institutions
• Creation of platforms of value chain actors to share knowledge

Rice weed control
The project tested Roundup with 25 farmers
Was found cost effective by farmers (environment)
Now, more emphasis on manual weeding which has positive effect on employment

Future market of rice and by-products
Rice flour produced for rural markets Relatively low quality processing Processing partly based on fee, partly on paddy sale X-Jigna suitable variety
White rice produced for urban market Higher quality processing Processing mostly based on purchase of paddy rice Processing results in commercial by products for
livestock feed (bran)

Relevant lessons for value chain supporters
Value chain development requires attention to different parts of the value chain in and over time
Involvement of private sector in marketing and processing will often take place spontaneously
Private sector can be supported with new knowledge on market opportunities and processing requirements
Continuous engagement is needed – post harvest management, processing
