    The document discusses UNIDO's Agribusiness and Agro-industries Development Initiative (3ADI) which aims to accelerate agribusiness and agro-industrial development in select developing countries. The initiative was launched in 2010 with 12 pilot countries and focuses on improving productivity, quality, and market access for key agricultural products. The expected results are increased private sector investment in agribusiness, large-scale development programs as public-private partnerships to trigger growth and reduce poverty, and strengthened collaboration between UN agencies and other partners. By 2020, the program hopes to link SMEs to markets, increase producer incomes, supply higher value products to local and global markets, utilize natural resources sustainably, and provide an effective

    DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

    Agro-industrial development

    Context
    In large parts of the developing world, the potential of agroenterprises remains unexploited as a result of limited access to
    markets, information, infrastructure, technology and finance. Nevertheless, the agricultural sector is still the backbone of economic activity,
    employment and livelihoods in developing countries. Strengthening
    the sector and adding value to agricultural commodities are instrumental in enhancing food security, stimulating economic growth and
    reducing poverty in a sustainable manner.

    Strategy
    The High-level Conference on the Development of Agribusiness and
    Agro-industries in Africa held in Abuja in March 2010 launched the
    African Agribusiness and Agro-industries Development Initiative
    (3ADI). The Conference mandates UNIDO, in partnership with the
    African Development Bank (AfDB), Food and Agriculture
    Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for
    Agricultural Development (IFAD), to initiate joint action in the areas of
    agribusiness value chains, food security, policies, financing and
    related trade. The initiative calls for the accelerated development of
    agribusiness and agro-industries to ensure value addition to agricultural products of developing countries. Selected pilot countries
    are: Afghanistan, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo,
    Ghana, Haiti, Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
    Sudan and the United Republic of Tanzania.
    UNIDOs technical assistance programme focuses on selected
    countries where one or two key agricultural products would be
    selected by the local authorities in line with national strategies.
    UNIDOs interventions include productivity and competitiveness
    improvement, quality improvement, and facilitating access to markets. UNIDO also supports an investment programme designed to
    significantly increase the proportion of agricultural produce in the
    selected countries and transform it into differentiated high-value
    products.

    Expected results

    A flow of private sector funds into the agri-business sector in


    3ADI countries to be facilitated

    United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), July 2011

    Large-scale agribusiness development programmes to be


    developed as public-private partnerships, which will trigger
    economic growth, improve food security and reduce poverty

    On an inter-agency level, the project will create additional


    synergies and will further strengthen the collaboration between
    UNIDO, other UN organizations and public/private partners

    Impact/Outlook
    By 2020, the technical assistance, reforms and attraction of private
    sector investment through the 3ADI programme are expected to
    result in productive and profitable agricultural value chains wherein:






    SMEs effectively linked to domestic/regional markets


    Income of producers increased through participation in value
    addition processes
    Higher value and differentiated agricultural products supplied to
    local, regional and global markets
    Higher proportion of consumer price retained in countries where
    primary production takes place
    Natural resources utilized in an overall sustainable manner
    Sector provides an effective basis for industrialization and generation of increased employment
    A second round of countries is expected to join the 3ADI framework
    during its second year of implementation. A flow of private sector
    funds into the agri-business sector in 3ADI countries to be facilitated
