The Bhutan Agricultural and Food Policy Research and Capacity Strengthening Project contributed to the development of a new national food security action plan. In addition, the analysis and results of the project are being used by the World Bank review of the agricultural sector and its investment plans for the agricultural sector of Bhutan.
The analysis done under the Successful Smallholders Pig Producers in an Adjusting Vietnam Market project demonstrated that under a wide range of assumptions, the large-scale commercial sector would not be able to supply more than a small share of overall pork demand in Vietnam for at least 10-20 years. This has contributed to a debate about the wisdom of government plans to focus its attention on supporting the modern sector.
The Rural Services Hub project in India has, together with the companies that were studied, identified increased investments by the firms (leverage funds) of about 3 million dollars to improve agricultural value chains.
The EC-funded Cereal Availability Study (now closed) and the Gates-funded Assessment of Ethiopian Agriculture have led to the creation of a new entity called the Agricultural Transformation Agency. The new agency will be charged with the analysis of food production, food prices, and income diversification, institutionalizing some of the analysis carried out under these two projects. The primary aim of the Agency will be to promote agricultural sector transformation by supporting existing structures of government, private sector and other non-governmental partners to address systemic bottlenecks in the system and deliver on a priority national agenda to achieve growth and food security. The governments of Ethiopia and its development partners have asked IFPRI to provide technical assistance to the Agency, which will involve long term engagement of researchers from three research division of the institute
In the summer of 2010, the WFP contacted subtheme 2.2 to carry out an exploratory assessment of the potential establishment of a strategic grain reserve (SGR) system in Southern Sudan. Based on the project‘s findings, which estimated that an SGR would result in an annual savings on food procurement of US$10 million and would contribute to market development and improvement in the
