The Accelerating Sustainable Agriculture Program (ASAP) is a new award with Chemonics International Inc. ASAP will help Afghanistan develop a dynamic agriculture system capable of adapting to market forces by engaging activities that will lead to: 1) increased competitiveness of Afghan agriculture products in domestic and international markets for high value commodities; and 2) improved public policies and institutions in support of more competitive agriculture and agribusiness. To achieve competitiveness and a sound policy environment, ASAP will support market linkages, improve farm technology and practices, improve post harvest activities to meet market requirements, develop and enhance business organizations to provide support services to small and medium scale agribusinesses, and assist in production and post harvest infrastructure construction.
