Exploratory analysis of contrasting development pathways for organic hemp oil production in Sicily.
| Description | Advantages, strengths | Risks, threats, challenges | Context factors | Governance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pathway I1 | Acreage = 100 ha + 1 small processing capacity | Single stream, Single point of contact | Reliability of the unique processing capacity and its owner | Given the estimated market size, acreage could most likely be increased above 100 ha | Centralized entity for processing, and the different farmers could set up a representation entity |
| Pathway I2 | Acreage over 100 ha + 1 large processing capacity | Single stream, single point of contact | Reliability of the unique processing capacity and its owner | Location of the machine/transport cost and accessibility (especially if a large number of providing farmers) | Different options exist regarding ownership: owned/co-owned. Works as a service provider (processor) or as an integrator (food company)? |
| Pathway I3 | Acreage over 100 ha + several small processing capacities | Proximity with markets (lower transportation costs) Value repartition |
Complexity Risk of competition regarding prices and clients |
Likely to happen if no consistent shared strategy is defined at the regional level | Independent actors → probably relevant to create a common association for representation purposes and coordination |
| Pathway I4 | Acreage over 100 ha + external foreign processor | Simplicity No additional workload |
Not so local Dependency on processors prices |
Highly dependent on the price of transportation Location of processors? |
Market rules mainly |
