FactsheetPromoting Accelerated Green Investment in Agriculture through Capacity Building Of National Financial Institutions (RKDF) - TCP/KYR/3805 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Kyrgyzstan agriculture helped minimize the economic decline in living standards during the years of transition, but the sector still has a huge untapped potential that has been ignored to achieve structural reform, productivity growth and poverty reduction. Kyrgyzstan has been left behind, not only among Central Asia countries (from four to ten times lower income than the average), but also as part of the Lower-Middle Income Countries (1.5 times). The country faces numerous obstacles, such as inefficient use of water and land resources, weak extension systems, fragmented agricultural value chains, poor transport and logistics linkages and environmental disasters. In order to boost all its potential, the sector would need a strong political commitment, an enabling macroeconomic environment, and strengthened capacities of actors and institutions involved in agriculture. -
FactsheetImplementing the Horticulture Advancement Activity in Pakistan - GCP/PAK/144/USA 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The development of the horticulture sector in the Balochistanand Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces of Pakistan is hindered by a series of constraints, including a lack of access to inputs, markets and services among farmers and other value chain actors. Despite these constraints, the sector has a great deal of potential in these areas of the country, owing to their natural comparative advantage. Leveraging this potential could create jobs and increase competition in the sector, thereby lifting people out of poverty and improving their health and nutrition status. The Horticulture Advancement Activity (THAzA) was designed to enhance potentially viable horticulture value chains in the targeted areas by introducing new technologies and innovations and establishing various facilities to support sustainable agriculture. The project focused on the apple, apricot, grape, tomato and onion value chains in Balochistan, and on the same in KP, except for onion, which was replaced with potato. -
FactsheetHorticulture Cultivars Performance Information - MTF/GLO/697/MUL 2021
Also available in:
The aim of the HORTIVAR database is to facilitate access to information on the performance of horticultural crop cultivars and to help users to identify cultivars and cropping practices adapted to their specific requirements and environment. This aim was achieved and the database currently contains over 90 000 horticultural data sets, covering more than 28 000 cultivars and 1 000 species. It can now function as an information tool to help small scale farmers to take decisions based on factual information. In order to ensure sustainability, the project established a network of institutional and individual partners who can continue to use and enrich HORTIVAR without further project support. In addition, the awareness raising and training workshops organized under the project enabled many people to participate in knowledge exchange activities based on the HORTIVAR database, improving users’ capacities for conducting analysis on data sets.
