Agricultural Value Chain Development Project
Rice, cocoa, oil palm — and the roads, swamps and markets that carry them.
AVDP works with smallholder farmers in fourteen districts to raise yields, cut post-harvest losses and connect farmer organisations to buyers. Every figure on this site comes from the programme's own monitoring system.
Five components
What the programme does
Inland Valley Swamps
Water control, bunding and levelling that turn one harvest a year into three.
Tree Crops
High-yield cocoa and oil palm replacing plantations decades past peak yield.
Climate-Smart Agriculture
Drought-tolerant varieties, water management and soil conservation for shifting rainfall.
Agribusiness & Markets
Linking farmer organisations to buyers, processors and rural finance.
Rural Infrastructure
Feeder roads, stores and drying floors that cut post-harvest losses.
