ProjectBuilding Capacity of MOSS-Supported Beneficiaries in the Targeted Governorates through Stimulating Agriculture and the Agro-Food Value Chain - TCP/EGY/3804 2025

Most landowners possess less than one feddan, and financial support from the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MOSS) has gradually become insufficient in meeting the basic needs of food-insecure residents due to rising food prices. In response, the MOSS sought FAO assistance to support the nationally led Fostering Opportunities in Rural Southern Areas (FORSA) project, which aimed to economically empower recipients of financial support and smallholders by transforming them into independent producers through various income-generating activities to enhance the agrifood value chain. The horticulture sector in Egypt remains highly fragmented. On one hand, large-scale farms, located in newly reclaimed desert areas, are highly productive, run by professionals, and equipped with modern facilities so that they meet international standards and have robust marketing connections. On the other, smallholders, who farm 90 percent of horticultural land, usually run small, fragmented plots and face numerous challenges such as a lack of planning and inadequate packing and storage facilities, leading to poor product quality and diminished market competitiveness. -

While commercialization of the agricultural sector is a key priority for the Government of Botswana, value chain actors need support to strengthen their capacities, improve the quality and safety of their products and increase diversification through value addition and access to markets. In this context, the project aimed to assist value chain actors to develop and implement Quality Management Systems (QMS), Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Standard Codes of Practice to improve product quality management in agricultural enterprises and to therefore maximize market and production competitiveness of food and agricultural products at local, national and international levels. The main objective of the project was to help ensure that agricultural commodities meet certain standard requirements, which will ultimately improve and increase their production competitiveness, create decent jobs and employment opportunities and develop the potential for broad-based industrialization. The proposed activities of this project aimed to introduce technical solutions that were new to the beneficiaries and stakeholders including agricultural standards, innovative practices for wastewater use, improved knowledge for market access, and QMS.
