Market-Oriented Agricultural Infrastructure: Appraisal of Public-Private Partnerships

This Project Brief summarises the findings of an ODI and FAO joint project on public-private partnership models to promote private investment in agricultural infrastructure. In 2007, FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization) commissioned ODI to assist in analysing a range of PPP models and model-variants that promote market-oriented agricultural development. The models are informed by case studies of market-orientated infrastructure in the following categories: (1) farm to market roads; (2) water for irrigation; (3) wholesale markets and trading centres; (4) agro-processing facilities; and (5) information and communications technology.
