DocumentOther documentAgro-industry development 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Agro-industries are the enterprises, activities and institutions that deliver material inputs to the farming sector and transform, distribute and otherwise add value to agricultural and food products targeting an identified market demand. Benefits of agro-industries include providing employment in off-farm activities such as processing. Agro-industries also add value to, and increase demand for, farmers’ products, thereby reducing poverty and food insecurity and stimulating economic growth. The many challenges faced by small and medium agro-industries in developing countries include poor infrastructure such as roads and electricity supplies, lack of inputs such as packaging, lack of technical expertise, and inadequate policies and weak institutional support. These challenges reduce the profitability, competiveness and ability of the sector to fully exploit the market opportunities arising from rapid population growth, urbanization and changing lifestyles and consumer preferences. -
