CAADP I: Sector Challenges and Opportunities Diverse sector challenges also present opportunities for innovation and growth • Agricultural growth lags behind services and industry with limited private investment due to risk perceptions • Need to generate, identify and tap national, regional and international demand for agricultural produce • Constraints across value chains: • Quality and quantity issues with raw materials and inputs • Limited rural infrastructure with high costs • Lack of working capital and long term credit • Low human capacity and limited innovation • Small existing base of agro-processing Agricultural and livestock intensification, training and aggregating farmers Identify and target new markets, attract increased investment with demand based approach A new value chain approach to increase market access, facilitate capital flows, generate premiums and reduce post harvest losses
