Abstract The Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan is a strategic instrument, relating to the period 2015-2020, whose overall objective is to transform the sector from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture. The envisaged transformation will help create employment opportunities, especially for the young and for women, and increase household incomes, while ensuring household food security along the entire commodity value chain. The overall development and growth of the sector is anchored on four strategic objectives or priorities: 1) To increase production and productivity of agricultural commodities and enterprises; 2) To increase access to critical farm inputs; 3) To improve access to markets and value addition and strengthen the quality of agricultural commodities; and 4) To strengthen the agricultural services institutions and the enabling environment.
