Nutrition Sensitive Value Chain Analysis
Results of the field survey indicate that native chicken, corn, banana and pumpkin are very localized
in targeted districts with some local market linkages have been well established; however, rather
low productivities were commonly observed mainly, resulting from “low input, low output” with
organic by default and traditional production system practiced and thus, low profit and low return
on labor. The indicative cost-benefit analysis of these selected products shows that with current
production system, farmers get profit (profit margin) of about 35 USD/83 birds/year/ HH (13.9%)
for chicken, 155 USD/0.48 ha/year/HH (60%) for corn, 169 USD/0.82 ha/year/HH (57%) for
banana and 115 USD/0.5 ha/year/HH (50%) for pumpkin....
