Working with Smallholders: A Handbook for Firms Building Sustainable Supply Chains
(Washington, DC, 2019) International Finance Corporation
The purpose of Working with Smallholders handbook is to enable the development of more sustainable, resilient and productive supply chains for agribusinesses and to illustrate the substantial development impact. Smallholder farmers are both an opportunity and a challenge for food and agribusiness companies. The predominance of smallholders in many frontier and emerging markets makes them an integral part of agribusiness supply chains. Many firms source from smallholders or are actively seeking to source from them. Calls for fairer, more inclusive supply chains will hasten this trend. Yet the development and strengthening of smallholder supply chains remains a key challenge for many IFC agribusiness clients. Working with Smallholders handbook compiles innovative solutions and cutting-edge ideas for these challenges. The handbook incorporates a diverse collection of hands-on case studies from across the world regions covering wide variety of agribusiness sectors. The 1st edition of IFC’s Handbook Working with Smallholders (2014) has become one of IFC Agribusiness Advisory Services flagship publications and received positive feedback primarily because it strikes a good balance between serious technical content and an accessible presentation style. In the three years since the original publication there have been numerous changes in approaches and methodologies. We also have a larger compilation of lessons learnt from project implementation. Because of these changes we have prepared the 2nd edition that highlights leading trends and technologies relevant to the work with the smallholders.
Food Safety Toolkit
(International Finance Corporation, Washington, DC, 2016) International Finance Corporation
The IFC Food Safety Toolkit is designed to help companies in developing markets reduce a risk in growing a sustainable food business: meeting the ever-increasing demands, needs, expectations and trust of customers, wholesalers, retailers, government food safety regulators, and consumers. The Toolkit was developed by IFC with food industry help and expertise. It is based on HACCP principles of foodstuff hygiene, and best industry practices and standards. The Toolkit provides companies with the know-how to develop, implement and maintain a modern food safety management system based on the principles of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points system (HACCP). The Toolkit helps companies to identify gaps in their existing practices and develop more efficient food safety system. Specifically, companies can: apply the Toolkit in any process regardless of production facility size, location and food safety sophistication; develop systemic science-based approaches to food safety management; benchmark their own food safety system against the best international practices; use the Toolkit as simple and practical self-service tool, replicating it to all production lines as necessary; tailor the templates in accordance with their needs. The Toolkit consists of seven modules with adjustable templates for food safety documentation and procedures.
