Improving availability of credit and agricultural inputs

Sound use of agricultural inputs integrated plant nutrition systems and integrated pest management.

Around the world, government run agricultural banks in poor countries once not only financed inputs, but also provided agricultural advice and spread new seed technologies.

FAO therefore still requires US 4 million to enable it to complete procurement of the necessary agricultural inputs.

Certain fertilizers and other agricultural chemical inputs are also known for their ability to contribute to the greenhouse effect.

35. In the early part of 1993, FAO completed deliveries of emergency agricultural inputs under the 1992 93 programme.

Greenhouse gases are released from certain fertilizers and pesticide inputs, and from the clearing and converting of non agricultural lands.

The coordination of the provision of agricultural inputs with relief food distributions has been a vital factor in this operation.

The majority of project activities have now been completed, with most of the medical drugs, seeds and agricultural inputs procured and distributed.

45. Estimates for the 1994 95 crop season have been made after considering the various population groups in need of agricultural inputs.

93. FAO has assumed a leading role in coordinating and mobilizing resources for the supply of seeds and agricultural inputs in the Sudan.

Such a network would not only benefit agriculture and the agricultural inputs industry, but also by enhancing agricultural output contribute to growth in the most important manufacturing sub sector in sub Saharan Africa food processing.

Poor countries would receive prompt and predictable financing for agricultural inputs from a single account, rather than from dozens of distinct and fragmented donors.

6.6. Promotion of local and regional markets for products and inputs, and developing appropriate marketing mechanisms for agricultural, agro industrial and non industrial products

The central activity is the distribution of farm inputs to safeguard the survival of the rural population and support the resettlement of agricultural communities.

Three projects operated by the FAO Office for Special Relief Operations (OSRO) provide emergency supplies of fishing equipment and basic agricultural and veterinary inputs to southern Lebanon and West Bekaa, and assist in strengthening agricultural extension.

The focus of the rehabilitation programme has been to supply basic agricultural inputs to the family sector, which produces most staple foods in the country.

44. Despite substantial inputs in the 1993 94 agricultural campaign, crop production has been seriously affected by erratic rainfall and dry spells during critical weeks.

Government inputs

These needs, in particular housing, repair of and reconstruction of schools, and provision of agricultural inputs must be met before the onset of winter 1993 94.

1. UNU inputs

(c) To ensure that all women have control over their income and the products of their labour and benefit from improved agricultural inputs and methods, including access to new agricultural technologies, research, training and financial management, all adapted to their specific needs

A 1 million emergency project included agricultural inputs and equipment, as well as numerous training courses for technicians and farmers on greenhouse construction and management and new cultivation methods.

A study by the Overseas Development Institute evaluates the benefits of the Malawi Government Agricultural Inputs Subsidy Programme, which was implemented in 2006 2007 to promote access to and use of fertilizers in both maize and tobacco production to increase agricultural productivity and food security.

19. In SIDS that are endowed with agricultural potential, agriculture can still offer an important source of sustainable growth given adequate intensification, diversification and well managed use of modern inputs.

Timely agricultural inputs such as tools and seeds in accessible parts of the country were expected to contribute to increased harvest yields and household food security of some 60,000 farmers.
