The principal objectives of the Second Agricultural Credit Project will be to: (a) expand food production to enable Colombia to continue meeting nearly all its domestic food requirements from local resources, and particularly, to increase the domestic supply of carbohydrate and protein foods in support of the Government's efforts to improve dietary standards through the National Food and Nutrition Plan; (b) increase the availability of inputs for industry from the agricultural sector; (c) continue agriculture's substantial contribution to export earnings; and (d) increase employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas, by creating jobs on farms and in agro-industries.
