The agriculture and forestry sectors remain Lao PDR's primary source of livelihood and play a key role in reducing national poverty. The Smallholder Development Project (current project) has therefore been promoting sustainable commercial smallholder agriculture and associated agribusiness through strengthening extension services, enhancing access to information and markets, capacity building, and increasing investments in agribusiness. The proposed additional financing, which will consolidate and expand well-performing investments initiated under the current project, covers 13 districts in four provinces.
