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.
