The direct project development objectives will be to expand the level of activity of processing, marketing, and trade enterprises downstream the farm-gate, to increase the number, and economic importance of producer organizations, and to build trade linkages between producers, and primary and secondary level trade organizations. The Agribusiness and Marketing (ABM) Project will work directly with private enterprises and commercial organizations, to improve the competitiveness of Kyrgyz products. It is important that the Project be responsive to the needs o f the private sector in achieving this goal. The ultimate objective of these efforts will be to increase the amount of value added to Kyrgyz agro-food commodities, to increase sales of those commodities, both domestically and abroad, and to improve the operation of agricultural markets. The ABM project will have two components, the Market Development Component, and the Access to Credit Component. The Market Development Component is designed to address constraints to improved functioning of commodity supply chains, through interventions in both the private and public sectors. The critical factors here will be capacity building, and establishing a framework for effective interaction among economic agents. The Access to Credit Component is designed to address key constraints associated with access to capital by enterprises in the agricultural, and food sector of the economy. Except for some of the larger food processors, enterprises in this sector of the economy are not currently able to access credit from financial institutions.
