The Agro Parks Programme of the Ministry of Agriculture is intended to facilitate the expansion of the productive capacity of the agricultural sector by building out the infrastructure to support SME investments in the production of selected crops and livestock directed towards import substitution and replacement, as well as, the provision of raw material for agro-processing and non-traditional exports.
The programme is for MSMEs in the agricultural sector who wish to engage into production to tap into local and international value-chains.
The Agro Parks are being developed to build capacity for SMEs in agriculture to produce crops:
To support the substitution and or replacement of selected imported crops;
For agro processors, fresh produce exporters, and school feeding programme, hotels and restaurants and other supply chains, thereby increasing incomes, wealth creation, and reducing poverty.
