Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy |
The project is consistent with ADB's country partnership strategy, 2016 to 2020 for the PRC. To support rural development for inclusive economic growth, ADB will assist the PRC in developing suitable methods to (i) modernize agriculture; (ii) promote circular agriculture through the value chain to reduce resource inputs and waste outputs, and control pollution; and (iii) improve food safety, including related infrastructure and capacity development. Through its private sector operations, ADB will support agribusiness projects that enhance productivity, inclusion of smallholder farmers in value chains, and food safety .
The project is also fully aligned with ADB's Operational Plan for Agriculture and Natural Resources, which recommends greater private sector agribusiness investments by ADB to _contribute to public goods, such as food security, food safety, and reduced soil and water pollution, thus benefiting the wider developing member country populations.
