Agricultural Sub-Sector Policy Studies

A team of LML consultants worked with the Agricultural Economics Institute of Prague to study the policies affecting various sub-sectors and the performance of these sub-sectors in relation to EU and world averages. The intention was to facilitate the movement of policies towards convergence with the EU-CAP, bearing in mind the latter’s recent and likely future reorientation. The sub-sectors included in the study were those of meat, milk, fruit and vegetables, sugar, oilseeds and cereals. The study involved the collection and interpretation of production and processing data from the EU and the CR; the review of EU and CR policies; and identification of areas for policy change

Cereal Sector Reform

As part of an understanding between the EU and the three Caucasus countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, it was agreed that the proceeds of food aid sales (mostly grain and vegetable oil) would be banked as counterpart finds and employed, under the supervision of a Board of Approval, in targeted support to the agricultural sector – and in particular the cereals subsector. Key tasks of the four-specialist team were to:

Export Development Programme

Export Development Programme

Landell Mills was responsible for implementing this major export development programme. Focusing on the development of four product groups (textiles, coffee, horticultural products and tobacco), the programme sought to stimulate exports by providing loan finance for export related costs and technical assistance for market development and production enhancement. The programme worked with and through producer associations. The results were strong: exports from the target groups more than doubled during the life of the programme. Following a very positive evaluation, a second phase is now being implemented.

Landell Mills provided programme management services through the establishment of a PMU in Lusaka. The PMU was responsible for over all management, preparation of the annual work plans, and oversight of the credit fund. This involved the provision of one full time resident technical assistant. Landell Mills was also responsible for undertaking the numerous short-term assignments associated with this programme.

This programme is among eleven projects featured in the EC’s recent publication entitled 'Making trade work for development: putting theory into practice. Case reports of European Union trade development projects around the world'( http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/reports/making_trade_work_2003_en.pdf)

Export Development Study

The Ministry of Trade and Industry sought assistance with the detailed design of a trade development programme and the formulation of a financing proposal to implement it. This included: analysis of Namibia’s export potential, based on its current and likely future supply capacity and on its new market relations, especially with the EC and neighbouring countries; study of the economic environment for international trade and Government measures to develop exports; interviews with economic associations and a survey of a representative selection of individual enterprises to determine potential and needs; meetings with relevant Government institutions, banks, EC Delegation and other donors; andpreliminary determination of an integrated programme of technical and financial cooperation for discussion with the key parties. The specific programme objectives were three fold:to create an enabling environment for the promotion of Namibian exports; to broaden the production base and increase profitability for exports and export related services; and to help develop market opportunities, market diversification and product ranges through dynamic marketing activities so that a number of new private enterprises would emerge with the support of the Namibia Association of Exporters (NAMEX) to be established within the framework of the programme.
