The main objectives of the Crop Diversification and Agricultural Services Project will be to assist the government to alleviate rural poverty, improve family nutrition and food security, and raise foreign exchange earnings by import substitution and by promoting the export of traditional and non-traditional crops, including food crops. The project aims at increasing rural incomes and foreign exchange earnings by import substitution and promoting private sector export marketing over a five-year period. The project will accomplish this through a combination of policy reforms and investment to: alleviate malnutrition of the rural population by raising production, strengthening agricultural research and extension services, and supporting the organization of farmers and traders, including women. The policy reforms will cover: (a) improving price incentives through reforms of cocoa pricing and the taxation system; (b) restructuring marketing and input supply systems of the traditional export sub-sector; (c) preparing and implementing programs aimed at removing technical constraints on higher cocoa output, including uncertainties over land tenure; and (d) promoting food crop production and non-traditional exports. Project investments will comprise marketing, agricultural extension and applied research and institutional development.

The Government's top priority for the country's agricultural sector includes restoring cocoa production and exports so as to generate foreign exchange and to redress a marked negative trade balance. In accordance with this priority, the objectives of the proposed project are: (a) alleviating the constraints currently impeding the increased production of cocoa; and (b) establishing the necessary infrastructure to maintain the momentum of development in the cocoa sub-sector in the future. To achieve these objectives, project actions would: (a) provide agricultural credit to meet the seasonal, medium-term, and long-term financing needs of creditworthy farmers and cooperatives. This would include strengthening the capacity and operational efficiency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Rural Development (MOA) and the project implementing agencies. The project would accomplish this through the international recruitment of five specialists, on-the-job and overseas training of local staff, improvement of buildings and operating facilities, and provision of vehicles and office equipment.
