Enabling the Business of Agriculture (EBA) 2017, the third report in the series, offers insights into how laws and regulations affect private sector development for agribusinesses, including producer organizations and other agricultural entrepreneurs. Globally comparable data and scored indicators encourage regulations that ensure safety and quality of agricultural inputs, goods and services but are not too costly or burdensome. The goal is to facilitate the operation of agribusinesses and allow them to thrive in a socially and environmentally responsible way, enabling them to provide essential agricultural inputs and services to farmers that could increase their productivity and profits. Regional, income-group and country-specific trends and data observations are presented for 62 countries and across twelve topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, transport, water, ICT, land, livestock, environmental sustainability and gender.
Mr. Rupendra Porwal (Managing Partner, RallyMark Legal) worked along with the World Bank Organization to provide his contributions in the making of this report, authored by the World Bank Group. In recognition of the same, the World Bank issued a Letter of Recognition and a Certificate of Appreciation in the name of Mr. Porwal for his critical contributions.
