Drafting the 2013 Annual Implementation Report of the “POSEI France” Programme

The contract consists in drafting of the Annual Implementation Report (AIR) which presents the results and achievements of the POSEI France programme obtained during 2013 implemented by the French overseas departments' agricultural economy development office (ODEADOM). As such, the AIR has the objective to assess the implementation progress of POSEI measures implemented during the calendar year preceding its writing. The AIR stems from a regulatory obligation (EU N°228/2013) and is submitted to the European Commission by 30 September of each year. POSEI France is made up of two components. The first component concerns specific supply arrangements (SSA) which aim at supporting the supply of certain essential agricultural products. The second component is composed of nine measures supporting the local agricultural production consisting of support to production, processing and marketing for local products or for the export. In particular, following specific measures are foreseen: three measures directly concern the livestock sector, one measure for "Crops diversification," one measure for "Cane - Sugar - Rum", one measure for "Banana" and one for "Cereals and oilseeds in Guiana." The strategy is based on the central objective of promoting sustainable agriculture in the overseas departments. The proposed measures should help maintenance of the traditional crops (banana and sugar cane) which have a central role in employment and in structuring the rural territories. Moreover, these measures will support the development of diversified production in animal and plant sectors in order to meet the needs of local consumption and to create export-oriented market niches for tropical products. The AIR (i) sets out the implementation progress of the measures during the previous year, including any significant changes in the socio-economic and agricultural environment context, (ii) a summary of the physical and financial data about the implementation of each measure; (iii) an analysis of the data with a presentation by main sector including trends over the period 2006-2013; (iv) a summary of the progress of the measures in relation to the objectives and analysis of the results; a specific focus is given to livestock structuring which is as complex measure with numerous sub-activities; (v) a sound examination on the specific supply arrangements with a presentation of all available data and an analysis relating to price trends (vi) data on the annual supply balance of the region concerned in terms of consumption, production and trade; (vii) contextual data such as the number of eligible producers, the number of animals covered by the payment, etc.
