Boosting agricultural productivity through strategic financial incentives! In #Ghana, the Planting for Food and Jobs program provides subsidies for improved seeds and fertilizers to increase production of diverse, nutrient-dense crops, including legumes, vegetables, and roots and tubers. Production increased by an average of 10% annually, with participation reaching 1.7 million farmers in 2020. #RecipesforSuccess: mamopanel.org/resources/reci…

Strengthening social protection through targeted livestock programs can boost nutrition, increase household income, and reduce poverty, directly supporting the inclusive livelihoods objectives of the @_AfricanUnion's Kampala Declaration. #Rwanda’s Girinka program has distributed more than 460,000 cows since 2006, increasing national milk production from 142,500 metric tons to over 1 million metric tons by early 2024.

How can governments deploy strategic public incentives to leverage private investment in agrifood systems? In #Morocco, the Fonds de Développement Agricole utilizes public resources to crowd-in private investment, offering subsidies for private investment in land restoration, irrigation systems, and agro-processing, thereby encouraging private actors to participate in long-term agricultural development. Post-investment subsidies cover 70 to 100 % of costs for key agricultural inputs like machinery, irrigation, and certified seeds, and funds are reimbursed to farmers or aggregators after investment verification.
