Development Objective

The overall development objectives of the project are to increase water and agricultural productivity in low and medium yield farm land areas; raise farmers' income and strengthen their competitive capacity under post-WTO conditions; and demonstrate and promote sustainable participatory rural water resources management and agro-ecological environmental management in the 3-H Basin. Although it's objectives are similar to those of IAIL2, IAIL3 would focus more on raising productivity of land and water, rather than only production; and on enhancing the farmer income and the farmers' share of higher market values, rather than raising income solely through higher production. And IAIL3 would add important innovations to modernize agriculture and enhance farmer competitive capacity. The competitive challenges resulting from China's entry into the WTO are driving these changes.
