Abstract:
The title of the project is “The Analysis and Progress Report of The Agribusiness Project”. It is
our recommended project over primary data gathered through interviews and discussions with
officials of Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF); a locally registered company that is currently
working on a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project. The
project worth $90 million was one of the largest granted projects by United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) to any local company around the globe. Due to the current
condition of the agriculture sector of Pakistan USAID funded a non-profit organization to sustain
the targeted sectors through a project which could make these sectors a market competent at
national and international level. To be significant, the recommended project consists of an
exploration over constraints that an Agriculture Sector of Pakistan is currently facing. Moreover
the objectives that are followed by ASF to accomplish their goals, their emphasis toward
achievement through various activities, duties and functions of personnel employed in different
regions, and budgeting process followed by management are identified in this report.
Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF) works under an initiated budget that was granted by USAID
for the starting of the project. The focus of the project was to accomplish the above mentioned
activities through a proposed work plan. Various other countries are also funded by USAID
whose performance regarding agribusiness is satisfactory. Comparative study of other countries
with agriculture sector of Pakistan is also analyzed through various articles in one of the six
chapters of Project report. In this report we have also identified some flaws of TAP which
resulted in the downfall of the Project. Some key solutions that are necessary to be provided after
the analysis of the whole progress report of Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF) are also identified
at the end of the report.
