SADP II

SADP I focused its activities at two levels in order to increase commercialization of Lesotho's agriculture: (a) the developing agricultural business sector, and (b) smallholder farmers who are already engaged in market-oriented production or have good potential to become commercially active. Accordingly, the program will consist of three components implemented over six years: (a) Increasing Agricultural Market Opportunities; (b) Increasing Market-oriented Smallholder Production; and (c) Program Management... SADP I targeted smallholder farmers and farmer groups that: (i) need support to improve their operations and sources of livelihoods; and (ii) have the basic resources and motivation required to successfully improve agricultural productivity and diversify into market-oriented agriculture. To help develop markets for their outputs, the program also supported the development of agriculture-related and rural businesses.
