AGP assists Member Countries in designing strategies and policies for the intensification and diversification of urban and peri-urban horticulture (fruits, vegetables, roots and tubers, mushrooms and ornamentals) and for the introduction, assessment and management of industrial crops and selected bioenergy crop options. The main purpose is to move from subsistence farming to income-generating agriculture by adding value to products to achieve greater returns for producers, and catalyzing public-private linkages between producers, processors, marketing chains and governments.
