Nigeria - Plateau State Potato Value Chain Support Project (PS-PVCP)

The Plateau State Potato Value Chain Support Project (PS-PVCSP) involves construction and rehabilitation of critical infrastructure (access roads, culverts, small earth dams, diffused storage stores, community markets, processing units among others) to reduce agricultural production costs and enhance market access. It will contribute to the Agricultural Promotion Policy's (APP) strategic pillar of promoting agricultural investment and financing agricultural development projects. Agricultural production and productivity enhancing activities will be supported through better management of agricultural extension services and the building of the capacities of service providers for sustainable supply of quality farm inputs, reduction of post-harvest losses and assure output markets for farmers. Key impacts of the project are additional incomes to an increased number of producers and entrepreneurs in the region by the creation of about 60,000 jobs along the value chain of priority commodity; and improve productivity along the commodity value chain to its full potential.
