A New Era: Agri-Public Private Partnerships (Ag-PPP)

PPPs can help to mitigate risk in agriculture by leveraging the strengths and resources of different partners and stakeholders.
To ensure the successful implementation of the strategies, a balanced funding framework is recommended. The framework suggests a distribution of funding from various sources to support development and sustainability. The balanced funding approach diversifies financial resources, mitigates risks, and promotes shared ownership and accountability among stakeholders.
The private-public partnership approach fosters collaboration among stakeholders, including government entities, local investors, foreign investors, financial institutions, and the IOFS. This collaborative structure creates a platform for shared decision-making, knowledge exchange, resource pooling, and risk sharing.
