“…As will be seen in Chapter 2, the vast majority of rural industry development projects aimed at linking farmers to market do not adopt a "whole of chain" participatory focus but instead attempt to build capacity within one section of the chain -usually the production section (Gandhi et al 1999;Van Roekel et al 2002;Chau et al 2004;Spriggs et al 2004;Dimyati & Muharam 2005;Rankin et al 2007;USAID 2009;Batt et al 2010;Irianto 2010;World Bank 2010).…”

“…For example the number of participants that were involved in planning and execution of the ASLP mango project activities was restricted (Collins et al 2006). This may explain why the vast majority of rural industry development projects aimed at linking farmers to 33 market are not participatory in a "whole of chain" context but rather focus to build capacity within one section of the chain which is usually the production section (Gandhi et al 1999;Van Roekel et al 2002;Chau et al 2004;Estelle et al 2004;Spriggs et al 2004;Dimyati & Muharam 2005;Nielson et al 2005;Dela Cruz 2007;Murray-Prior et al 2007;Rankin et al 2007;USAID 2009;Batt et al 2010;Correia & Rola-Rubzan 2010;Irianto 2010;Montiflor et al 2010;Van der Waal & Zongo 2010).…”

Evaluating the effectiveness of a ‘whole of chain’ approach in rural industry development in developing countries: a case study of Pakistan mango industry

Linking farmers to markets has become an integral part of the development agenda of world donor agencies in developing countries in the current decade as a result of the changes in the competitive environment brought about by globalization. It recognises the need to connect the rural economy more effectively with modern economic processes by building forward and backward linkages with rural producers. These linkages help to define rural development as rural industry development in the context of supply chain management.Under the Australia-Pakistan Agriculture Sector Linkages Program (ASLP) there is an initiative aimed at developing the Pakistan mango industry, which is one of the major and important industries in the horticulture sector of Pakistan. Various constraints associated with the mango industry development were identified using a rapid supply chain appraisal approach (RSCA). These constraints are being addressed under a project "Optimizing mango supply chain for more profitable horticultural enterprises in Pakistan and Australia", which uses a "whole of chain" approach to development.The RSCA process involved field visits and interviews with various stakeholders, including growers, commission agents, transporters, exporters, importers and retailers in Singapore, quality management companies, freight forwarders, shippers and support agencies such as PHDEC, universities, government departments and wholesale market committees. Consequently, three critical areas such as quality management, market understanding and supply chain management had been addressed in years of project activities. This is consistent with participatory approach that practitioners have sought to accommodate in rural industry development projects in developing countries.Various approaches have been taken in building relationships between producers and their counterparts in the chain to improve their competitiveness. There is little evidence in the literature that provides a demonstration model of supply chain development which adopts a "whole of chain" participatory approach involving all key stakeholders, either in developed or developing countries.The overall objective of this research is to evaluate can an industry development project that adopts a "whole of chain" approach be effective in linking farmers to their markets.. ii A system-based approach has been taken to evaluate the results being achieved under the mango industry development project of the ASLP. This study is qualitative, adopting an ontological and epistemological stance referred to as constructivism. Longitudinal evaluation is the overall research strategy consisting of three rounds of data collection in different time intervals over the ASLP project duration. The research is framed around a case study of the mango industry therefore case study methods guided the data collection and analysis.The overall findings of data analysis indicated that the respondents all along the chain recognized the issues of Pakistan mango in three critical areas, such as quality ...

“…Moreover, his definition focuses on such aspects as community and collective action more than Bourdieu"s and Coleman"s definitions do. Some scholars argue that the community perspective of social capital have emerged as the dominant paradigm in development literature (Quibria 2003;Rankin 2007). …”

Using a case study methodology, four agricultural cooperatives in the Western hills of Nepal were purposively selected according to criteria of size, scale and accessibility. Data collected from semi-structured interviews were triangulated with those from focus group discussions and non-participant observation. Data were coded and organized against the research questions, using Nvivo 10 software. Within-case analysis was carried out for the emerging themes and patterns based on the conceptual framework whose major elements include triggers, drivers, mechanisms, enabling factors, manifestations of change, utilization and impacts of social capital building. Within-case data were analysed for pertinent themes, and cross-case patterns were developed through comparing and contrasting within-case themes.
