Integrated Agricultural Practices

completed

The project will be implemented in an integrated approach with the following focus areas: (i) introduce good agricultural practices (GAP) and strengthen supply chain linkages between farmers, buying agents/SMEs and lead firms; (ii) enhance banks' capacity in lending to farmers and SME agribusinesses; and (iii) remove regulatory barriers to market linkages and financial access. The project will be delivered through advisory services to key stakeholders that include banks, lead firms and relevant government authorities. It will focus on regions of high agricultural potential and key crops such as rice and coffee.
