Project Description
The project provides advisory services to support the development of the
agriculture sector in Tajikistan by reducing the regulatory burden on
farmers and agribusiness entities and by increasing their access to
finance through lease and equipment financing. Objectives are: 1) to
improve the business environment for agriculture and agribusiness finance
by reducing administrative barriers and requirements via improvement or
elimination of procedures; and 2) to promote agri-finance through a focus
on equipment and lease finance. Anticipated results include reduction of
cost and time required to do business, increased farm productivity through
use of newer and more efficient machinery, and expanded access to finance
for agricultural entities.
