项目摘要

Although agriculture in most developing countries is dominated by small scale businesses, relatively few of them managed to integrate into international value chains. One exception can be found in the Kenyan export horticultural sector. In most other small scale business based African agricultural value chains, like in Tanzania a larger export orientation in horticulture has not taken place yet, but commercial production is increasing and public as well as donor activities support this development. At the same time, Kenyan, Tanzanian and other small scale businesses in the Global South are facing a new significant development: the broad spread of information and communication technology (ICT). So far the influences of this development on commercial small businesses are not clear and are the subject of controversial discussions. This study aims to analyze and explain to what extent the proliferation of mobile phones, internet and other ICT solutions is changing the organization and coordination of Kenyan and Tanzanian commercial horticultural value chains with a focus on small scale farmers and traders. The results shall contribute to the general theoretical debate on value chains in the Global South and explore the dynamics of their coordination and organization. The study is based on conceptual approaches on ICT in the Global South and Value Chain concepts. The empirical background shall be given by qualitative and quantitative surveys in two case studies: the highly commercialized Mt. Kenya region (Kenya) and the commercializing Mwanza region (Tanzania).

虽然大多数发展中国家的农业由小规模企业主导，但只有相对较少的企业能够融入国际价值链。肯尼亚出口园艺部门是一个例外。在大多数其他以小型企业为基础的非洲农业价值链中，如坦桑尼亚，园艺业尚未出现更大的出口导向，但商业生产正在增加，公共和捐助者的活动支持这一发展。与此同时，肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚和全球南部的其他小型企业正面临着一个新的重大发展：信息和通信技术（ICT）的广泛传播。到目前为止，这一发展对商业小企业的影响尚不清楚，是有争议的讨论的主题。本研究旨在分析和解释移动的电话，互联网和其他ICT解决方案的扩散在多大程度上改变了肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚商业园艺价值链的组织和协调，重点是小规模农民和贸易商。研究结果将有助于全球南方价值链的一般理论辩论，并探索其协调和组织的动态。这项研究是基于全球南方信通技术和价值链概念的概念方法。经验背景应给予定性和定量调查的两个案例研究：高度商业化的山。肯尼亚地区（肯尼亚）和商业化的姆万扎地区（坦桑尼亚）。
