Table A3.13.Virus indexing capacity for planting materials Decision Criterion Value Details Confidence Cost Up-front investment US$450,000 Acquisition of Test reagents and equipments (PCR machines and associated accessories and ELISA kit) and human capacity building. High Estimated additional cost of $0.41/kg for certified planting material 0% On-going cost (equivalent to US$1,000 per hectare). However, this will be more than Medium offset by the added value of the increased yield. Overall impact is zero. 4 The private sector is interested, although there is generally little knowledge of the importance of virus-free vegetative planting material High since most produce is for home consumption and no specialist seed Ease of implementation production system is in place, except the initiative by the International Potato Centre CIP. All certified virus-free vegetative planting material comes from South Africa including banana plantlets. The Government of Malawi would be interested because of other potential synergies that could flow from this facility Trade impacts Change in absolute value of exports US$1.2 million Neighbouring countries do not have such facilities and therefore would High likely look to Malawi for seed. The current price of uncertified potato seed is $0.67/kg in Mozambique. Additional cost of indexed seed is US$0.41/Kg. +2 Neighbouring countries would opt to import seed from Malawi, especially those closer to Malawi than South Africa. These would include High Trade diversification Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Other crops that are vegetatively propagated will also benefit from the facility, for example bananas, sweet potato and sugarcane. Domestic agri-food impacts Agricultural/fisheries productivity +2 Based on data from Zimbabwe the impact on productivity is likely to be high Medium Domestic public health 0 No impact. High Environmental protection 0 No impact. High Page | 71
Social impacts Poverty impact +2 Likely impact is significant increase in productivity of sweet and Irish potatoes that are widely produced by smallholders. Impact on vulnerable groups +1 Increased productivity of smallholders, including those operated by women. High High Page | 72
