The major interventions include technology generation through research, research-extension linkages, enhanced technology transfer, improved service delivery and better access to markets and inputs. Farmer group-based technology dissemination and adoption is being used as a tool to enhance adoption of improved practices. Despite series of lockdowns, the project has made notable progress over the last six months: o Productivity indicators have increased 33.3 % on average across all components and are on track towards project-end targets. o Improvement in marketed volumes by PIU-Department of Livestock Services (DLS) is expected to continue in the coming months. DLS will take over technical assistance support to livestock Producer Organizations (POs) that used to be provided by an external supply chain 10/29/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bangladesh NATP-2: National Agricultural Technology Program - Phase II Project (P149553) agency. The project cumulatively marketed 32,089 MT (metric tons - 91% of end target) of crop, livestock and fish commodities. PIU- Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) has facilitated the marketing of 24632 mt of agricultural products (90 % achievement against EOP). PIU-DLS and Department of Fisheries (DoF) marketed 2927 mt of livestock products (primarily milk) and 4530 mt of fish (73% for livestock and 113% for fish products targets). 4,530 MT of fish was sold, surpassing the final target of 4,000 MT. The newly introduced online fish marketing platform (pofishmarket.com) tripled sales (839 MT) compared to the quantity reported in previous ISM. o Agriculture Innovation Fund 2 and 3 (AIF-2 and AIF-3) sub-projects contribute to farm mechanization, enhanced agricultural productivity, and marketing of agricultural products. In total 2922 (64% of the RDPP targets) sub-projects have been awarded by three agencies. Compared to ISM-5, the additional achievements in AIF-2 & 3 are 74%, 36% and 76% respectively. However, DLS should accelerate the process of awarding the sub-projects and achieve maximum targets within the next six months against the additionally approved AIF-2 themes. In the coming months, the Bank team will continue to provide support to conduct cross-sectoral analysis and validate data collection methods and data quality, and to understand the causes of productivity increase across sectors. KEY DECISIONS The project’s restructuring was completed on May 27, 2021.Project Management Unit (PMU) should confirm that all PIUs gather the new baseline data for the revised activities included in the RDPP taking into account the impacts of COVID.
