This exciting opportunity invites proposals to develop an agricultural investment plan targeting export markets for a Sub-Saharan African nation. The successful candidate will craft a comprehensive yet compelling proposal outlining opportunities for boosting production of key crops along with processing facilities. We will provide local data and information needed.
The proposal should conduct situational analysis of local agricultural landscape, identify major farming communities, assess soil health and water availability. A detailed crop selection relying on export demand and native suitability must be included. Estimates of projected yields and quantities available for trade over 5 years should follow crop selection.
Logistical requirements for storing, processing and transporting harvests must be determined. Suitable locations fulfilling prerequisites for setting up collection/processing centres should be proposed. Options for sustainable practices ensuring long-term productivity gains warrant discussion.
Financial projections estimating ROI timelines and cashflows under various investment models require formulation. Potential partnerships with local farmers and industries must be outlined. Proposal should convince investors by comprehensively addressing risks and mitigation strategies.
Regulatory approvals, incentives and support expected from partner government needs defining. Proforma documents for agreeing terms with stakeholders and funders complete the deliverable. Well-researched, cohesively written agricultural investment plans will persuade international backers to drive rural growth and exports.
