The agricultural and agribusiness sectors present exceptional opportunities for eradicating poverty and hunger, as well as for mitigating and adapting to climate change in developing countries. In this context, UNIDO promotes sustainable and inclusive business opportunities through agribusiness and value chain development, to create shared prosperity and advance economic competitiveness.
Through a range of technical cooperation services targeted at food and non-food sectors, the Department of Agribusiness assists developing countries to add value to their agricultural output and generate off-farm employment opportunities in rural communities, thereby contributing to rural economic development and structural transformation.
