Agriculture Sector Modernization Project

The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) with $58.63 million from International Development Agency of the World Bank, is implementing the five-year Agriculture Sector Modernization Project (ASMP) in five provinces and seven districts: Northern province (Jaffna and Mullaitivu ), North Central province (Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa), Eastern province (Batticaloa), Central province ( Matale) and Uva province (Monaragala).

The ASMP aims to support smallholder farmers to produce competitive high-value agricultural products, improve their ability to respond to market needs and access domestic and international markets and become efficient and sustainable market participants.
