About the Program
The Agricultural Development and Empowerment Program (ADEP) is a strategic initiative launched by the government to stimulate the growth and long-term viability of the agri-business sector. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive support framework for individuals and entities involved in the agricultural value chain—including cultivation, processing, and marketing of agricultural products.
Through ADEP, the government seeks to achieve several key objectives: enhancing agricultural productivity, ensuring national food security, creating meaningful employment, and fostering sustainable economic development in rural communities.

- Family-owned farms and established agribusinesses
Essentially, any individual or group engaged in or planning to engage in any stage of the agricultural value chain is encouraged to apply.

- Financial Support: Access to funding opportunities to invest in equipment, infrastructure, or expansion initiatives
