The analysis and progress report of the agribusiness project

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.
