Cambodhrra Cambodian Partnership for Development Human Resource in Rural Area Association
The Agri-Business Partnership Hub (APH) is a dynamic and inclusive platform that brings together diverse value chain actors to collaboratively address challenges and capacity gaps within agricultural market systems. The hub unites stakeholders from across the agribusiness ecosystem, including farmers, producer organizations, cooperatives, agribusiness firms, input suppliers, financial institutions, government agencies, research institutions, development partners, and consumer groups.
Purpose and Objectives
The primary purpose of the APH is to create a space for coordination, dialogue, and innovation among key stakeholders to strengthen agricultural value chains and improve market systems. The specific objectives include:
• Facilitate the identification of critical issues affecting agribusiness operations, such as market inefficiencies, limited access to finance, inadequate infrastructure, and policy constraints and develop collaborative solutions that address these challenges.
• Enhance the capacities of smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and agribusinesses to meet market demands, improve productivity, and maintain quality standards.
• Strengthen relationships within the value chain to improve trust, transparency, and efficiency.
• Engage with policymakers to advocate for enabling environments that support agribusiness development, including improved regulatory frameworks, market incentives, and investment in infrastructure.
• Support the development of climate-smart and inclusive agribusiness solutions that address environmental and social challenges.
Key Activities
The APH implements a range of activities to achieve its objectives, including:
• Organizing multi-stakeholder dialogues, workshops, and forums to discuss value chain challenges and opportunities.
• Facilitating public-private partnerships to drive investments and resource mobilization for agribusiness development.
• Conducting research and disseminating findings to inform decision-making and strategic planning.
• Providing platforms for knowledge sharing and networking to foster collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders.
