About the GMS SAFSP

In 2017, GMS agriculture ministers expressed a joint vision of promoting the GMS as a leading supplier of safe, quality and climate-friendly agri-food products. Achieving this vision depends on overcoming multiple barriers along the agrifood value chains. Building on achievements of the GMS Core Agriculture Support Program (CASP) phases I (2006-2012) and II (2012-2019), the Asian Development Bank has prepared TA 9916-REG GMS SAFSP to support implementation of the Strategy for Promoting Safe and Environment Friendly Agro-Based Value Chains in the GMS. This was endorsed by GMS agriculture ministers in 2017.
