FELCRA II (AGRIC.)

closed

The project supports the Government's program for the rehabilitation of idle smallholder lands to raise the rural standard of living and the level and efficiency of agricultural production for export revenue generation. It is the third Bank-assisted project for the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (FELCRA) and finances over three years most of FELCRA's land development program and associated investments including an expenditure time slice of the agricultural development costs. The project aims to replant some 45,000 ha with oil palm, rubber and other crops and maintain during the development phase a further 69,000 ha replanted prior to the project. In addition, the project seeks to construct scheme access roads and buildings, two palm oil mills and a Central Training Center, provide vehicles and equipment and strengthen FELCRA's services.
