This is the 8 minutes summary of a 2SCALE movie that will come out soon. The film is about a typical 2SCALE Public-Private Partnership (PPP), combining a so-called lead firm (Psaltry in Nigeria in this case, an enterprise sourcing cassava from farmers to produce starch for Nigerian Breweries/Heineken), and local-level agri-business networks. The film makes clear that technical innovations are needed to reduce the costs of production and cassava productivity, but that technical innovations are not enough; there is need for relationship and organisational innovations. The relationship between farmers and transporters is crucial, but in addition farmers should be organized in stronger groups.
