Sustained Growth

Sustained growth transitions a society from relying on subsistent farming to leveraging its competitive advantage for agribusiness by making it attractive to investors. Small and medium-sized businesses must have the capacity to accommodate the lending terms of multinational financial institutions. They need to demonstrate a commitment to practices and principles that illustrates steady progress. To do so, interaction with the government must be forthcoming, as local communities must be made aware of plans to grow local infrastructure for agriculture. This inclusion and access to information is key to ownership of the investments geared towards development. A breakdown of infrastructure spending provides valuable data to members of the value chain, and best equips stakeholders with managing resources.

Considering key factors are a good sign of sustainable growth. Improving the enabling environment shows that society is making changes to accommodate the demands of a new market structure. Relevant policies need to exist, laws and regulations that consistently illustrate how government and society interact. Procedures that don’t burden local communities and stakeholders looking to participate in the marketplace that is easily accessible to key stakeholders. Regulations that place a low cost for small and medium-sized businesses to comply, such as improving access to information about land ownership. Logistics improvement for production and postproduction, storing agricultural products, then getting them to market and developing outcomes for the value chain. These factors show that the key stakeholders are managing investments efficiently. We provide insights on sustainable programs that are engines for continued growth and encourage the communities to participate in these programs.
