AGP Executive Report
Last update: 32 minutes agoMarket Shock: Farmers in Egypt’s New Delta desert project are betting on a wheat push, but elsewhere the supply chain is wobbling—Hawaii’s worst flooding in 20 years has left farms replanting and fewer veggies hitting markets, while Bangladesh’s Naogaon rice prices are rising even during peak Boro harvest. Price Pressure: In Cyprus, open-field growers fear a second-half 2026 irrigation decision could squeeze potatoes and watermelons; in Ghana, grain storage failures are blocking surplus off-take despite funding. Policy Moves: Nigeria’s Bank of Agriculture is rolling out a guaranteed minimum price and excess-produce buying plan to stabilize staples; Syria has banned wheat imports during harvest to protect local procurement. Investment & Tech: ADB is set to finance a $239.13m resilient irrigation project in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Velcourt is standardizing farm records and inputs across 120 farms with one digital system. Value-Add & Branding: Cambodia is pushing geographical indications and cashew-processing capacity to turn local crops into export-ready products.
