USAID Agro-Inputs Project in Bangladesh - AIP

AIP is improving the knowledge, availability and use of quality agricultural inputs by:

• Forming an Agro-Input Retailers Network (AIRN).
• Increasing retailers' access to market information and improving the marketing of safe, high-quality agricultural inputs.
• Improving awareness of quality standards for inputs, and improving the input regulatory environment.
• Strengthening local organizations in the inputs value chain. The AIRN is a network of agricultural input retailers in southern Bangladesh committed to selling quality agro-input products. Trained and certified members display their AIRN logo as a deal of quality to demonstrate their commitment to making informed decisions for efficient and ethical agricultural input retail operations. Ultimately, this network of trusted retailers will improve the availability of high-quality agricultural inputs to farmers. Key Program Partners
