Service Providers to Undertake an Indonesia Postharvest Loss of Nutrition (IPLAN) Innovation Challenges event
As
a leader in identifying and delivering solutions to address
malnutrition, GAIN seeks to strengthen the value chain for nutritious
foods thus making nutritious diets more affordable
and accessible for vulnerable populations. To this end, we take a
market-based approach, promoting investment in local private enterprises
along the value chain. With our new strategy, we hope to reach a
formative, sustainable and scalable solution to food
insecurity and malnutrition. Particularly for I-PLAN (Indonesia -
Postharvest Loss Alliance For Nutrition, GAIN Indonesia designed PLAN as
a global and in-country platform that would connect experts and supply
chain actors in order to share knowledge, collaborate
and coordinate activities to collectively reduce postharvest loss (PHL)
of nutritious foods, and making them more accessible for consumers.
With funding from the Dutch, IPLAN conducted its initial design work in
early 2017 to roll out PLAN Indonesia (I-PLAN)
with a focus on marine fish (tongkol) as a proxy. There are 4 main
components of I-PLAN project implementation plan, which is (i) Building
the Alliance; (ii) Innovation Challenges; (iii) Monitoring and
Evaluation System, and (iv) Study and Assessment related
to PHL and policies.
Innovation Challenges to improve Cold Chain System at domestic fish market:
Fish
is an important part of the diet, not only for animal protein, but also
as a source of micronutrients, minerals and essential fatty acids. 100g
of Tongkol contains 56% and 100% of
the recommended protein intake for an adult and for a child 4-9 years
old respectively. GAIN estimated that the local supply chain was losing
up to 25% of its fish postharvest. If it converted this food loss into
nutrients lost, and it can be highlighted that
around 16,500-27,500 metric tonnes of fish protein are lost every
year. The majority of these nutritious foods are lost or wasted
post-farm gate where the absence of a strong, postharvest preservation
industry creates a direct and swift path from food to
waste. Without suitable technologies to conserve, store and process
nutritious foods, the cost of better, diverse and nutritious diets
increases drastically.
Referring
to that problems, GAIN conducted an in-depth landscape analysis of the
local fish supply chain to pinpoint the challenges that cause PHL and
how PLAN interventions can address
them. The analysis has steered I-PLAN to focus on interventions in fish
landing sites, transport and distribution, retail and storage system
both before or after sale hour which is where most of the fish is being
lost. Cold chain technologies to reduce fish
decay along the supply chain will be crucial. Therefore, GAIN would
like to organize an innovation challenge to source local, innovative
solutions to solve local challenges along the domestic fresh fish supply
chain. The solutions from the innovation challenge
should address pitch points between the fish landing sites to consumers
to ensure that the fresh fish is safe and nutritious for local
consumption, not only for urban areas but also for communities who lives
at rural or remote areas, particularly at mountain
or hills areas where usually marine fresh fish is rarely available or
sold at a very high price.
Objective of the Innovation Challenges:
- To surface several new technologies or innovations that can be adopted by local supply chain actors with the aim to reduce PHL of fresh marine fish along the supply chain, that consist of several critical point such as at (i) landing sites, (ii) transport and distribution (include mobile trader such as motorcycle or cart-vegetable trader), (iii) retailer include road side seller; and (iv) small storage system.
- With grants support, the winners should produce and test whether the innovation is suitable or not to reducing PHL, and establishing simple data related to change of losses (before and after the innovation was adopted) at each stage of the supply chain. This will help to understand how the innovation can improve existing condition, and reduce the losses both physical, quality, nutrition, market force that affect to financial loss.
- To strengthen and/or accelerate startups business of winners, and ensuring that the innovations have lasting sustainable effects on reducing PHL of fresh fish. This should be reflected from the proposed activities by Service Provider on how startup can be supported, either finding support or investment from other agencies / provider network besides IPLAN GAIN in form of grants or seed capital at pilot scale.
Area:
The
Innovation Challenge will be nationally advertised and will accept
applicants from all regions. However, once the winning innovations are
selected, I-PLAN would like to pilot the
innovations where the project is being implemented in East Java
Province i.e. City Surabaya and Probolinggo District . These locations
have been selected on the basis of: (i) potential location for pilot on
reducing PHL in the areas, represent urban and rural
areas; (ii) food and nutrition insecurity; (iii) complementarity with
other development partner and Government programs such as BADUTA program
under the Ministry of Health (MoH).
Beneficiaries:
The project will directly assist actors along the local fish supply chain.
Eligibility
Researchers/
Students / SMEs / Cold Chain stakeholders (Industries, Suppliers,
Associations), / Distributors/ private sectors / individuals who have
ideas to reduce postharvest losses
of fresh fish for domestic market:
Target outcome (s) of the innovation:
- Increasing the availability of fresh fish or food from fresh fish, to lower income consumers (improving access)
- Reducing postharvest losses of fresh fish for domestic consumers (increasing affordability)
- Unlock supply chain challenges that cause Post Harvest Losses (improve profitability)
