The TA supported the preparation of (i) a policy matrix for a $50 million policy_x005F_x0002_based loan, (ii) a report on a commodity mapping survey along key road corridors in Gandaki Province, (iii) institutional mapping of the agriculture sector under federalism, (iv) a report on best practices under the recently completed ADB-financed value chain project, and (v) a preliminary concept note on rice- based value chain development. These reports will provide background information for the development of a new investment project in the agriculture sector in Nepal. The survey reveals that new opportunities for horticulture development are arising as connectivity improves in the hilly areas of Nepal.
