Book (series)Financial analysis in agricultural project preparation 1991
Also available in:
No results found.This paper grew out of a series of lectures given by the writer in April and September 1984 to FAO Investment Centre staff, mostly economists and project analysts.The paper has been written principally to meet the needs of F AO Investment Centre economists and project analysts who have no previous training in accountancy, but may be of value also to persons of a similar background working on agricultural project preparation in developing countries. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of concept s and techniques in order to provide users with an analytical framework for a systematic financial appraisal of a project. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the mathematics of discounting. The focus of the paper is on agricultural projects. The coverage is restricted to revenue-generating entities which are likely to maintain full sets of accounts, such as agro-industries, commercial farms and lending institutions. Farm budgets are thus excluded. -

Book (series)Guidelines for the design of agricultural investment projects 1993
Also available in:
No results found.The aim of these guidelines is to help in the design of agricultural investment projects in developing countries. The intended users are F AO Investment Centre staff, trainees and consultants. Much of the material may also be useful to staff in governments, financing agencies and consulting firms who are responsible for designing or appraising such projects. The projects referred to are principally those sponsored and supported by governments, but in which farmers, herders, fishermen or forester s participate and carry out the productive activities. The guidelines address the need for such projects to be conceptually coherent, relevant to national needs and capabilities, technically sound, viable in economic and financial terms, attractive to the participants, socially acceptable, and environmentally and fiscally sustainable.
