ProjectBuilding Capacities and Facilitating Enabling Environment for Contract Farming in Lesotho - TCP/LES/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.A vast majority of Lesotho’s population resides in rural areas and a large proportion of these rural dwellers depend on agriculture and remittances from migrant labourers for their livelihoods. Employment opportunities in South Africa and Lesotho’s urban centres have declined because of stagnating economic growth. The impact of COVID-19 has worsened the situation. Remittances as one of the key pillars for the rural economy have been seriously weakened. The focus is now shifting to agriculture to fill the void. Unfortunately, the performance and output of the agricultural sector has been disappointingly low, thus making those who depend on it vulnerable to poverty and food insecurity. These challenges notwithstanding, the Government of Lesotho considers agriculture as a priority sector for job creation and economic growth. The current medium-term planning framework (National Strategic Development Plan) has prioritized agriculture alongside manufacturing, tourism and creative industries as key growth generators and is advocating for increased public and private sector investment. -
