Opening Speech by Arumeru District Commissioner, Hon. Elias Wawa Lali
Distinguished guests, our Facilitators, Programme Co-ordinator, Workshop participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me at the first place extend my gratitude to the Programme Co-ordinator for giving me the honour to officiate at an opening ceremony of this workshop. I would also like to extend my gratitude to
workshop participants for leaving aside your important schedules to take part in this workshop. As stakeholders, your participation will improve your efficiency in implementing various activities of the
Programme, particularly in promoting marketing systems, participation and the way marketing systems operates for our farmers and rural small and medium entrepreneurs.
Agricultural Marketing Systems Development Programme (AMSDP) was deliberately established to do away with various impediments existing in agricultural marketing systems. Among these numeral
impediments include ignorance and insufficient participation of agricultural crops producers, poor infrastructures, insufficient experience in the private sector and lack of capital.
The AMSDP long-term goal is to raise income and food security amongst smallholder farmers in areas covered by the Programme. The medium-term goal is to improve the structure, trend and
performance of the country’s crops marketing systems. The Programme specific objectives are:
i. To build the capacity of smallholder farmers in a bid to boost agricultural crops production and productivity, and
ii. To boost the number of agricultural crops medium-scale and small-scale traders interacting with smallholder farmers and their rural counterparts.
Dear workshop participants, the Programme activities will be implemented through four components as follows:
i. Agricultural Marketing Policy Development component devises policy; laws, rules and regulations; improves market information and conducts analyses and enforcement of the policy right from
the local government to the national level.
ii. Producer Empowerment and Market Linkages component empowers smallholder farmers and agricultural crops processors/small-scale traders’ groups.
iii. Financial Market Support Services component enables smallholder farmers with their agricultural crops stored in warehouses and agricultural crops processors/small-scale traders to secure
loans.
iv. Rural Marketing Infrastructure component develops infrastructures for agricultural crops markets.
This seven year (2003 – 2009) long Programme will be implemented in two phases in the Southern Zone involving Iringa, Mbeya, Ruvuma and Rukwa regions and in the Northern Zone involving
Kilimanjaro, Tanga, Arusha and Manyara regions.
This workshop is an important part of the AMSDP strategies, as it aims at providing agricultural crops producers with entrepreneurial skills and at networking them with markets for their crops. Am
informed that the workshop has attracted stakeholders from both, Southern and Northern Zones, mostly being smallholder farmers, entrepreneurs, facilitating agencies, district council experts, the
Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA), network of farmers groups, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), the Ministry of
Co-operatives and Marketing and AMSDP.
Dear workshop participants, with us today are our distinguished guests from International Support Group (ISG), who are to join forces with AMSDP in making this important workshop a success.
Dear workshop participants, am convinced that the workshop has been timely organized, as availability of information and markets themselves is of paramount importance during this globalization era
than ever.
I am also informed that this workshop’s main objective is to identify the existing marketing systems situation and devising participatory strategies of improving the situation. I would, therefore, like to take
this opportunity to urge to be extra careful in your deliberations and to devise an action plan that can be implemented so that the Programme goals are achieved as envisaged.
With these few words, I would now like to officially announce that this workshop has been officially opened.
Thank you for your attention.

Perspective on Current Marketing Challenges
Organized into groups by key player types – producers, processors, traders, partner agencies, market monitors and AMSDP focal persons their task was to identify all
the major challenges faced by the participants in marketing. Important areas of marketing could include: processing, consumers, finance, policy and regulations,
production, storage, information, transport, security, market places, prices, traders and buyers.
Process
1.
Before starting the discussion group members chose someone to chair their discussion, someone to write their ideas on paper and another person to
present the ideas.
2.
Discussion started by writing the main discussion topic: existing marketing situation, in the centre of the paper using a landscape format.
3.
Then members determined what main areas of marketing the group wanted to discuss. As they decided on each main area they wrote it next to the
main topic and linked each area with a line to the main topic box.
4.
Once all the main areas were written down, the group went back and discussed the challenges they faced in each area writing down each challenge
identified in a ring around the relevant part and linking each challenge with a line to the relevant part.
5.
The group repeated step four until all the challenges were identified.

Future Vision for Improved Market Linkages
Organized into five groups mixing types of key players their task was to imagine improvements that will overcome the challenges they faced in marketing. Important
improvements included better linkages between key players in the marketing chain from producers to consumers.
Process
1. Before starting the discussion group members chose someone to chair their discussion, someone to write their ideas on paper and another person to present
the ideas.
2. Using the diagram developed in the group work the group identified the marketing areas and challenges they wanted to improve in future.
3. They then discussed ways in which the challenge could be overcome or a better way of working could be tried writing down each future improvement on a
card and noting the key players who should be involved in making the improvement.
4. They repeated step three until all the challenges were covered.
5. The group prepared a table showing the marketing area, challenge, future vision and who was involved in making the improvement

Linking Maasai Cattle Producers and Slum Consumers in Fair Trade
This is the story of how farmers got together with a meat processor and formed a livestock stakeholder self help association
that links Maasai cattle producers with meat processors, vendors and consumers to bring fair trade practice to all. Michael
Kibue. LISSA. Kenya. October 2002. <bahatimeat@yahoo.com>
It is sunset at Suswa Livestock Market in Kenya. A group of Maasai pastoralists are still seated in the open market. They are in deep discussion and very desperate. The city
businessman who took their livestock on credit did not appear. It is the third market day yet no sight or promissory word. The cattle belongs to our community what shall we do? is
the painful question that the pastoralists cannot answer. Production without access to market is the real agony of beef livestock farmers in Kenya. It has frustrated the producers and
created opportunity for excessive exploitation. It is the real barrier to generate incomes for poverty alleviation.
With advent of economic reforms and trade liberalization the Government closed down its livestock marketing services and the only processing plant. Inevitably, the beef industry fell
into hands of private sector middlemen. This change has resulted in unfair trade, disorganized marketing systems, and has locked the industries enormous potential for social and
economic development. At risk is livelihoods of poor pastoralist farmers and public health of meat consumers. However, re-vitalizing the beef industry for poverty alleviation and
sustenance of livelihoods is a key priority of our government and donors. Massive resources have been spent but achieving very little. We farmers cannot but feel very desperate
and powerless in the face of unfair trade, disorganized livestock marketing systems, poor consumers, low incomes of producers, and drought. Low returns rendered our investment
fragile while lack of knowledge and training led to low incomes and resource wastage. How to make meat affordable to the poor hence open our greatest meat market is our
challenge. Nothing can make life more promising to poor livestock farmers than guaranteed market and fair price for their livestock. Yet very few organizations if any have the
courage to undertake the risk to help the poor farmers face this challenge. We farmers and Bahati meat processor took courage and resolved to empower ourselves to face this
challenge.
Against our expectation our tasks became identifying stakeholders and their market needs, creating linkages between the producer and the buyer, building capacity for processing
and product development, exchanging information and brokering among all players. We use participatory learning to manage the complex changes. We organized a multistakeholder learning workshop that was well attended. We posed these critical empowerment questions: Where are we now? Where do want to be? How shall we get there?
We all agreed that now we have a disorganized livestock marketing systems, unfair trade practices that marginalize the Maasai, poor meat quality and unhygienic meat production,
environmental pollution from slaughter houses and degraded rangelands for cattle. What we want to see in future is: increased trade volume from new market opportunities; fair
trade among all parties including price discovery and better pricing mechanisms; empowerment of farmers to manage change and conserved natural rangelands; hygienic meat
processing; higher quality meat and consumer satisfaction. We proposed to get there through partnership and co-operation between key stakeholders. We formed the Livestock
Stakeholders Self-help association (LISSA) to bring together pastoralists, traders, Bahati abattoir, butchers and vendors who sell meat in shops and directly to consumers in slum
areas to ensure fair trade practice for all concerned.
LISSA works because it integrates fair trade practices with a multi-stakeholder learning process that empowers all stakeholders to achieve superior communication, innovation and
responsiveness to changes affecting the industry while bringing higher benefits to all. Our learning process is a powerful rethinking tool that transforms our problems into challenges.
It demonstrates the mutual benefit of communication and information exchange both vertically to higher levels of government and industry and horizontally to peers in livestock
production and meat processing. For LISSA members learning is a contact sport of continuous engagement through meetings, individual communications, and information
exchange.

Practical Ideas for Action to Realize Future Visions
Using their table of future visions the five groups of mixed key players identified ideas for practical action that the key players could take to realise their future vision. It
is important that these ideas for actions were realistic and could be implemented by the key players without additional resources.
Process
the ideas.
2. Using the table of future visions group members identified the critical future visions they wanted to act on immediately.
3. The group then brainstormed practical and realistic ideas that the key players involved could implement to realise the vision identified writing each idea on a
separate card.
4. Brainstorming continued until all critical future visions were covered.
5. The group prepared a table of the future vision, ideas for practical action, and the key players carrying out the action.

Non financial institutions such as NGO and Trust Funds
Access to fertile land and availability of water through introduction to irrigation facilities through
improvement of traditional irrigation system and Rain harvesting
Land : Farmers should shift to areas with available land i.e. Handeni, Karatu, Turiani
High price for paddy through use of improved and high yielding varieties i.e super kahogo
Better package by labeling according to market requirement
Trading and sorting according to market demand
Agricultural exhibition either local or international
Farmers should be trained the practice of cost benefit analysis (CBA) before starting production
Train farmers on negotiation and bargaining power

What are the key information flows in Linked Local Learning?
The important information flows in linked local learning are local: between one farmer group and another, between members of a learning group (that is all key players in the marketing
chain), and lastly, between one learning group and another. Members of a learning group share their challenges with each other and get back new ideas from each other. Local
learning groups share their experiences with each other which circulate new ideas of what has worked in their place. Thus challenges shared for suggestions on ideas of actions to try
out are practical and are linked to somebody who can help.

Action Plan for Communication within a Learning Group
Organized into seven groups by district from northern and southern zones their task was to describe the internal communication challenges facing the key players
within a learning group and suggest possible ways to meet those challenges. For each key player in the learning group members defined the challenges and possible
ways of meeting them.
Process
the ideas.
2. The work began by each member listing internal group communication challenges on cards according to their own experience. When everyone had written at
least the issues they organized them on a flipchart by key player adding new issues as they emerged from the discussion.
3. Taking each issue in turn the group brainstormed ways in which each challenge could be overcome writing down each idea for future improvement on a card.
4. The group prepared a table showing key player, communication challenge, and ideas for meeting the challenge.

Note on information centres: The description and meaning of an Information centre varied from a simple billboard with price information posted regularly at a fixed
meeting point such as a market, to a room or complete building equipped with computers, fax, telephones, internet access etc.
The simplest level of meeting point/bulletin board was also envisaged as a place where regular meetings could be held and information provided on e.g. market
information. Information could be posted by Pas, TCCIA, market monitors etc. from several districts and as printouts from information collated on a web site. The web
site would be directly available to those with access, and the printed information available to others at the meeting point/information centre. Similarly, information
posted to the bulletin board could be added to the website.

Communication challenges between learning groups and suggested solutions
Working in plenary the task was to agree the communication challenges between local learning groups of key players and suggest possible ways to meet those
challenges.
Process
1. Participants began by individually listing inter-group communication challenges on cards according to their own experience.
2. When everyone had written at least 3 issues they then worked together with the person next to them to come up with an agreed joint list and possible solutions.
Where issues were the same they were recorded only once.
3. Each pair then joined with another pair and combined their lists, issues and potential solutions, with each other. Each person in the group of four was assigned
a number from one to four for the next step in the snowball.
4. All the persons assigned the same number from one to four in each group now joined with the other person from all other groups assigned the same number
such that four large groups were formed. Issues were then discussed and a common 10 point list of issues for each group agreed.
5. Each group presented their lists to the plenary and a common list for the entire plenary was discussed and agreed.

Challenges in communicating between groups and possible solutions
Farmer groups have a great deal to learn from each other, but physical distances can make it difficult to meet and discuss issues frequently. Information could be shared easily between groups if they
could access the Internet or to a more limited extent, even an SMS message service. However, there are many challenges to be met in doing this. Most farmers live in remote villages without electricity
or telephone lines. Many cannot read or write and very few have ever used a computer or sent an SMS message. Even those who can read and write can rarely do so in English. Finally, direct access
to computers and the Internet is nearly non-existent and access to mobile telephones is extremely limited.
The three main challenges to be overcome for better communications between groups are:
z
Literacy – both general and computer literacy
z
Language
z
Access to computers, the Internet and mobile telephony
Some examples of how these challenges might be met are given below – how practical are they, what other alternatives can you suggest?
One possible way to overcome these challenges could be through the use of one or more intermediaries. For example, to access the Internet for email and discussion groups, the farmer’s group would
first need an email address (which can be arranged free for anyone whether or not they have access to or can use a computer). The messages they want to send though would then need to be:
1
Written down – either a group member, or an intermediary will be needed who can read and write. Who could do this?
2
Typed into a computer – If possible, the computer should also have an Internet connection, but if not, the message can be saved on a diskette and taken to an Internet café later. Who could
do this?
For example: Miriam works in an NGO office that has a computer and a printer but no Internet connection. She is the computer-intermediary for a farmer’s group. She types the messages
from the farmers group onto her computer and saves them to a diskette which she gives back to them.
3
Sent via the Internet – If the computer where the message is typed does not have an Internet connection, the message would need to be saved to a diskette and taken to another computer
which does have an internet connection. The message can then be sent as an email attachment. This would need someone who is used to using the Internet. Who could do this?
For example: Simon is a bus driver and the Internet-intermediary for the farmer group. When he is in town he regularly drops in at the Internet-cafe behind the bus stand. For the farmers
group he also manages their email. He takes the diskette that was used to save the messages from the farmers group, calls up their email account and using the address they gave him,
attaches the message from the diskette. He also finds a message with an attachment to the group. So he downloads the attached document onto the diskette and back home hands the
diskette back to the farmers group.
4
The process would then have to be repeated in reverse - Miriam’s help would be needed again to printout the messages from the diskette and the person who can read for the group would
need to read the messages to them.
Language - The whole process can be more complex if English needs to be the language used. E-mails and discussions can be in Swahili but a great deal of information on the
Internet is available only in English and in this case, someone who can read and write English will need to translate the messages for the group. For full access to the LLL learning
support service which links learning groups not only in Tanzania, but also in Uganda and Kenya and throughout the world, English is needed as it is the common medium used.
So in summary, for the farmers group to use the Internet, until direct access becomes practical, one way would be to use one or more of the following intermediaries:
Î Someone who can read and write in or for the farmers group
Î A translator to and from English
Î Someone who can enter the message into a computer
Î Someone who can send the messages via the internet.
A facilitator who works with the group may also be needed and would certainly help the whole process!

Information needs and information constraints
For information to be shared between learning groups, especially when it is not easy to do this, the information needs to be important enough to make the effort.
Through a participatory workshop held in Kilosa in August 2000, members of a local learning group identified the following as the main categories of their information needs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Planning and Management (weather, soils, disease incidence, agricultural production information, local plans of action, progress on activities carried out by villagers etc.);
Social Information (information specific to communities such as local resources available and how they are used, needs assessments, problems and constraints etc.);
Economic Information (food security, sources and prices of inputs, market prices at village, district and national levels etc)
Technological Information (new technologies and practices, research, farmers proposed solutions)
Often such information is already available – the problem is accessing it. Linking together groups can help the information to spread faster.
The group also identified the following main barriers to information flows:
z
z
z
z
z
z
z
Limited awareness of the technology
Lack of access to new technologies
Lack of skills and knowledge on ICTs
Inadequate knowledge of information available
Low general education levels of farmers
Poor communication between farmers and extension staff
Lack of transport
In planning how to improve communications within and between learning groups, keep these issues in mind!
