JICA Rice Processing Pole leader model could be key to develop industrial processing, but has not yet delivered results - Support from Development Partners can help improve the model Pole leaders could be key decision makers in machinery purchase • • Pole leaders are responsible for purchasing all the paddy rice in their zone and ensuring that the rice is processed They can own their own processing units and are therefore potential buyers of machinery (e.g., SOCOMCI, a pole leader, acquired 4 processing units from the government) Alternatively, they can attract investors to build processing units within their pole Implementation of the Pole leader model has not delivered the expected results . Designed in 2012, the pole leader model has had limited success so far • The strategy is lacking a detailed implementation roadmap that includes: Financing model to support the activity of pole leaders • Criteria for the selection of pole leaders Performance metrics A clear distribution of roles between the government and pole leaders As of today, the model is under review by the government to determine how to structure it moving forward Support from Development partners can help improve the model by: • Helping to clarify the role of different stakeholders involved in the funding and execution of the model Supporting capacity building of Rice Development Agency (ADERIZ) to ensure successful implementation of the model Source: ADERIZ (2020); BCG Analysis 73
