To achieve this, the government has announced a number of innovative measures that include improving farmers’ access to institutions (i.e. credit, insurance, information, common markets), development of infrastructure (i.e. irrigation, electricity and roads), restoring soil health, improving efficiency of agricultural markets, expanding dairy processing facilities and enhancing farmers’ capacity to diversify into nonfarm activities.
