Annexes<br />

Plant crafts<br />

Due to the low cost of raw material, the plant craft value chain has a high potential to<br />

include poor and extreme poor, especially women. Furthermore, there is a high potential<br />

of value addition at producers’ level. The project has good level of experience in the<br />

promotion of MSEs on plant crafts (i.e. bamboo products) and established linkages with<br />

private companies, including exporters.<br />

The project will conduct an in depth assessment of the value chain.<br />

c. Plan and road map for VC analysis<br />

Part of the promotion of value chain, the project will conduct a value chain analysis for<br />

most of the value chains following the road map outlined below.<br />

The following aspects will be looked at:<br />

1. Current structure and characteristics of the market<br />

a. Map and characterisation of value chain actors, especially lead<br />

organisations including their capacities<br />

b. Characteristic and typology of producers involved in the production<br />

(poverty status, gender balance, etc.)<br />

c. Current level of capacities of producers (individual, group, MSE)<br />

d. Current margin structure on different levels of the value chain<br />

e. Motivation/incentives of key actors to invest in value chain development<br />

f. Framework condition and policy environment<br />

g. Analysis of risks and conflicts<br />

h. Potential for income and employment creation<br />

2. Technical characteristics of the production and potential for value addition<br />

a. Potential of production<br />

b. Technologies used<br />

c. Potential to generate added value at producer level<br />

3. Market potential<br />

a. Demand potential<br />

b. Characteristic of demand (price, quality, volume, seasonality)<br />

c. Characteristic of the offer (price, quality, volume, seasonality)<br />

d. Competition<br />

4. Systemic constraints and feasibility for project interventions<br />

a. Systemic constraints in the value chain, focusing on causes<br />
