"Poverty, food insecurity, rapid population growth and environmental degradation are problems\r\nseriously hounding the developing world today. These are most felt in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), home\r\nto one-sixth of the world’s population. The SAT, which includes 48 developing countries in Asia and\r\nAfrica, is characterized by extreme poverty, lingering drought, infertile soils, growing desertification\r\nand environmental degradation. Our geographic focus is on the semi-arid tropics of Africa and Asia,\r\nreferred to for brevity in the rest of the Plan as ‘the tropical drylands’ or simply ‘the drylands’. About\r\n6.5 million square kilometers in over 55 countries is classified as dryland tropics. More than 2 billion\r\npeople currently live in the drylands, with 600 million considered to be poor. Hence, strengthening\r\nvalue chains in SAT regions will help in reducing poverty through upgrading along the value chain shifts\r\nfrom inefficient to efficient value added products (ICRISAT strategic plan 2020). Mostly, dryland crops\r\nare grown in the semi-arid tropics, which include coarse cereals (such as sorghum, pearl millet and\r\nfinger millet) and legumes (such as soybean, groundnuts, chickpea, pigeonpea and other pulse crops).\r\nThe other main source of income is from livestock products such as meat and milk products. Keeping\r\nin mind the diverse product base of the SAT areas, this manual illustrates value chains for different\r\nproducts commonly produced in this region....."^^ . "2013" . . .
