SESSION 4 DISCUSSION SESSION AGRIBUSINESS PPPs AND TERRITORIALLY-BOUND INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS FOR AGRO-INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SESSION 4 DISCUSSION SESSION

LEARNING OBJECTIVES You will: Understand the complementarity between territorial and sectoral approaches to foster agro- industrial development. Appreciate how territorial approaches and PPPs can be used together. Understand how territorial approaches can achieve development objectives. Assess the type of skills that the public sector needs to have to plan and implement sound territorial initiatives

WARMING UP EXERCISE From your experience… Do you use more often sectoral approaches or territorial approaches? What can be the links between PPPs and territorial instruments? Which skill set should the public sector have to plan and implement sound territorial initiatives?

CONTENT Beyond agro-industry: working across sectors and territories. Agro-territorial instruments and PPPs: attracting and retaining private investors. How to make these tools work for the poor and food insecure? Skills and institutional set-up needed for these investment tools to work.

1. BEYOND AGRO-INDUSTRY: WORKING ACROSS SECTORS AND TERRITORIES

WHY A TERRITORIAL APPROACH? Agribusiness sector is changing (industrialization, globalization, urbanization). Local supply links need to be strong. Place-specific factors (e.g. endowment of natural resources) influence agro-industrial development. Need for a synergistic approach

COMPLEMENTARITY BETWEEN TERRITORIAL AND SECTORAL APPROACHES Sector-wide policies may be necessary but not sufficient to accelerate agro-industrial investment. Using a territorial approach, policy-makers can have a more comprehensive and synergistic approach to development.

2. AGRO-TERRITORIAL INSTRUMENTS AND PPPS: ATTRACTING AND RETAINING PRIVATE INVESTORS Industries Agriculture Towns Cities

TERRITORIAL TOOLS AND PPPS: A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP Both tools share the same objective of investment promotion. PPPs can be a preferred way of launching and implementing an agro-territorial initiative. PPPs are used as a mechanism for the management of some agro-territorial tools.

3. HOW TO MAKE THESE TOOLS WORK FOR THE POOR AND FOOD INSECURE?

TERRITORIAL APPROACHES AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES Territorial planning can help address issues such as globalization, climate change, environmental and social sustainability, regional disparities and demographic change; It improves inclusiveness by improving physical connectivity and the business environment and by strengthening linkages among value chain actors; It enhances food security and nutrition.

HOW TO IMPACT ON DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES THROUGH TERRITORIAL TOOLS Having a clear idea of what will be the impact on development objectives, e.g. improving FSN Considering if the same objectives may be obtained with other, less costly tools Promoting transparent and fair rules of the game Involving all the stakeholders in all the phases of the tool development Conducting sound preparatory work Applying transparent process of land acquisition

4. SKILLS AND INSTITUTIONAL SET-UP NEEDED FOR THESE INVESTMENT TOOLS TO WORK

INSTITUTIONAL SET-UP Investment promotion agency or authority (IPA) Offer domestic and foreign investors a one-stop- shop for their investment; Keep record of investments registered through their offices. Units or services dealing with private companies set up by the ministry for agriculture (or other ministries) Nation-wide public programmes
