Finally, Figures 11 and 12 report the predicated impacts of the 16 options on poverty and on sociallyvulnerability
groups including women, children, people in marginal areas, etc. The options are all judged
to have positive impacts on poverty except for aflatoxin controls for maize, pesticide controls for maize,
mycotoxin testing capacity, pesticide residue testing capacity, and animal health controls for fish
exports. The options with the greatest impacts on poverty are aflatoxin controls for groundnuts,
pesticide controls for tea, and virus indexing capacity for planting materials. Only one of the capacitybuilding
options, aflatoxin controls for groundnuts, is judged to have significant positive impacts on
vulnerable groups.
