- Manden Agri Service (MAS) is a cooperative established to strengthen rural productivity and increase food security in the Kankan Region through rural credit in the form of input credit, commercialization of agricultural products for the members of the 3 federations and transformation services through 5 Commercial/Transformation centers dislocated in the main prefecture of the Kankan Region The main challenge for the MAS in supporting smallholder through input credit and commercializing their products is connected to the transport/storage and the overall management of the process. Due the absence of paved road, sending input like seeds, fertilizer and so on and commercializing some agricultural outputs (in particular vegetable with a short period of conservation) is a difficult task in particular for smallholders that live in isolated areas and do not have access to main road. Those smallholders are limited if not excluded from the markets of main cities because transport cost. In addition, due the high segmentation of transport’s market the information gathering and management process is very expensive due the presence of many informal actors operating in the area. The major challenge in this context is to collect the necessary information to organize an effective logistic of the products and increase the cost effectiveness of MAS actions. A similar problem arises concerning the points of storage. There are many actors, some formals, some informal, offering those services, and this fragmentation increase the difficulty to find an optimal decision. In order to accomplish its mission, MAS needs to develop management and logistic capacity in order to become able to select the best transport/stocking-price combination and expands its services, in particular for smallholder living in isolated areas. Specific objectives: 1) Fostering the access to market of marginalised farmers living in remote areas. 2) Supporting agricultural productivity and innovation, by mapping local logistics operators and by setting up a transport, storage and distribution system in agricultural cooperatives with the use of ICTs, particularly in isolated areas of the region
- The approach used for analyzing and building the solution for the project case was structured in the following steps: Reading the project document and first brainstorming (using Slack, Google Drive and Skype to share ideas); Research on geospatial and geographic information of the area, using OpenStreetMap and Carto; Assessing needs: questionnaire to the organizations; Second brainstorming (Skype and Google Drive): identification of ICT method and tools Developing an appropriate solution and methodology: the needs and interactions of every actor in the supply chain were analyzed in order to make sure that the app would be suitable to the various activities (deliveries/pick up, storage, transportation, commercialization); Testing ICT Tools and adjusting it to project context: simulation of survey for mobile phones in Magpi, simulation of logistics system with Commcare Group Project document writing and submission Each member was in charge of the development of a specific part of the project case. The final draft has been approved during the final team meeting.
- The solution proposed is divided in three main stages
- Mapping of the area: the main infrastructures of the Kankan region are collectively GPS mapped on OpenStreetMap. Particular attention is paid to the existence of paved/unpaved roads, warehouses, and marketplaces.
- Mapping of the actors: local cooperatives members are recruited and trained to collect information on the formal and informal actors involved in the local supply chain. Data regarding farmers, transportation, storage and distribution agents are collected and organized in a database. This information is necessary to organize an effective logistic of the products and increase the cost effectiveness of MAS actions.
- This is an example of how a Magpi survey would look on a mobile, this survey has been elaborated for the farmers
- 1) The grower declares the available products and their quantities as well as the pick-up point : Grower’s Information Product Quantity Pick-up Point The app saves the date the declaration has been made as the date of availability The App aggregates the provisions declared and assigns each grower or group of growers to a defined transport agent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2) The agent in this module confirms the pick-up and declares the details. Pick-up point Transporter’s information Grower’s information Products Quantities The app then saves the date of saving as the pick-up date. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3) The storage agent will now confirm the receipt of the transported goods on the warehouse/storage. Storage Agent information Transport Agent information Product Quantity The app saves the date as the date of entry to the warehouse ________________________________________________________________________________________ The app now has the information of the products transported from the growers to the warehouse with the following details : Storage Agent ID Transport Agent ID Grower’s ID Product Quantity Date of declaration Date of Pick-up Pick-up Point Date of Entry _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through a database of existing products and their storage conditions, their optimal consumption periods and their details of safe storage/keeping/use, they are well kept at the storage facility. A similar database would have an updated collection of product retail prices, gross prices and profit margins. This would only be accessible by the financial agent (and MAS managers if need be) The financial agent would cross-check the quantities provided by the growers and the transport agent and the storage agent to validate the amounts to be paid.
- Decrease of transportation time and costs, and consequent decrease of agricultural products prices on the market More accurate delivery time estimations Increase of efficiency of stocking points Increase of local markets and general business Better traceability of products (which gives more value addition in certain markets) Harmonization of transport operator rules and progressive improvement of transport services (in the long term) Better access to markets and better income for farmers and growers Better economic performance in the local agriculture and services to farmers can strengthen commercial activities and facilitate the development of transport infrastructures and services.
