Modernizing Agriculture

This entails transforming agriculture from subsistence level to commercial enterprises through mechanization, promoting irrigation, livestock breed improvement, value addition, enhancing market access and financial services. This will require major infrastructural investments including wool cleaning machines, honey processing machines, coffee pulping machines, potato and mango processing,  milk cooling and processing plants and support to industrial park development. Other mechanisms include the provision of abattoirs, slaughterhouses, sale yards and multiplication centres to support the livestock production and improvement. The Agroecological Zones and Subzones are illustrated in Map 4.
