dear tania
DC nov 4: I was at a small breakfast meeting where
usaid goes through cases - todays was on what Atlanta-based CARE is facilitating with local Bangladeshi moderators
regarding total dairy chain in bangladesh
and BRAC was featured as a major representative of the
poorest in this market's value chain; a few weeks earlier a similar system dynamics map explained what freedom of knowhow
is needed to end poverty with kenya's milk chains
tons of eye-openers on what makes Bangla Dairy contextually different
are being mapped
the difference between seasonal glut and lack of milk - the big processors go from under-capacity
to over-capacity - no wonder the poorest get squeezed out of both extreme market swings
collectors who accidentally act as
the markets sharks- the small producers have to deal with them and they are too big an anti-social network association
for any one of the 4 main dairy companies to argue with first
what this also means is the collectors mix various qualities of milk
together but there is now a magic tech gizmo enabling any mobile person to test milk quality - so the milk's freedom game
is how to renegotiate with collectors so poorest are sustainble and quality milk is enjoyed by all
also occasionally international companies
have gluts of powdered milk which they dump on richer bangla citizens- again destroying markets prices- a perfect
recipe for corruption in government (mis-)regulation of such
-------------------------------------------
Cross-over maps - the french government and danone have been using
analysis of milk value chains to demand totla revaluation of all basic foodsmarkets - see cannnes B20 subsummit of G20 november
2011 and www.danonecommunities.com where 100000 French youth celebrate the good news of goodwill economics and the job creating fortures it elads to
Danone lucked out when it asked chinese infant nutritionalists to extend the world's most valuable yogurt designed round
missing infant nutrition - the chinese said why not fortify grains as a far easier market to distribute- so the most valuable
co-creatyed market between the 3 countries of china, france and bangaldesh is opening up - search out how swiss based
Gain and a bit of Yunus wizardry helped stir this goodwill world trade
