Environmentally Sustainable Agricultural Input Distribution Project

The project is to partner with Kingenta, IFC and Huaxia Bank to establish a new company Kingfarm which will (i) set up 300 crop production service (CPS) centers that will provide compound and specialty fertilizers, seeds, and other agricultural inputs, and agricultural services to about 3 million smallholder farmers in eight PRC provinces; and (ii) construct 10 associated fertilizer plants to produce compound and specialty fertilizer that will serve the CPS centers and help expand the CPS market penetration.
