The Rice Value Chain Transformation Programme (RVCTP) seeks to contribute to food and nutrition security and enhance economic growth by reducing the rice importation. The specific objective is to increase rice production by moving from subsistence rice farming towards a commercialized market-driven farming by increasing private sector engagement in production, processing and marketing of rice. The project also aims at enhancing private sector and other stakeholder’s participation in the value chain, thereby improving incomes and employment opportunities for all stakeholders, especially youths and women. The Project has 3 components: (1) Production and Productivity Enhancement, (2) Agribusiness, Market and Capacity Development, and (3) Project Management.
