I Sector Assessment: Context and Strategic Issues

Agriculture has a potential for significant growth and will continue to have a major and inclusive role in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (PDR) economy. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) remains committed to supporting modern sustainable agricultural development.

A. Introduction

1. This sector assessment, strategy, and road map (ASR) explains the evaluation and strategic investment priorities of the Government of the Lao PDR and ADB in the agriculture, natural resources, and rural development (ANRRD) sector. The ASR highlights sector performance, priority development constraints, government plans and strategy, past ADB support and experience, other development partner support, and the future ADB sector strategy. It informs ADBs country partnership strategy (CPS) for the Lao PDR and is updated as strategic developments and program changes occur. It helps provide sector background information for ADBs investment and technical assistance (TA) operations.
