| Summary: | This report is the outcome of assessment
and is intended as an advisory note to the Ministry of
Agriculture (MoA) and Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB)
to enable them to identify a strategy and potential public
investments to improve current risk-management practices in
the rice supply chain. This report identifies the major
risks facing the rice supply chain, ranks them in terms of
their potential impact and frequency, and offers a framework
for improving current risk-management practices. The
recommendations and findings will provide a basis for
follow-up planning work by the Government of Guyana (GoG),
the World Bank, and other development partners. The findings
and analysis of this initial assessment are based on a
methodology designed by the Agricultural Risk Management
Team (ARMT) for assessing risks in agricultural supply
chains. This report provides an indicative list of potential
solutions to address the dominant risks in the rice supply
chain; however, the assessment or evaluation of the
individual solutions was beyond the scope of this exercise.
To ensure the greatest return on future public investments
in implementing risk management solutions, GRDB and MoA need
to undertake an exhaustive cost-benefit assessment of
different options. This will enable MoA to identify and
implement the necessary activities to reduce the
vulnerability of the rice supply chain in Guyana. |
