It reviews trends in agrifood spending, allocation by implementing agencies or partners, functional composition, and the balance between central and local budgets as well as recurrent versus development funding. The report analyzes efficiency and utilization through key programs such as fertilizer subsidies, agricultural extension services, irrigation, and seed systems. It also evaluates price incentives for major commodities including maize, rice, and tobacco, concluding with takeaways and recommendations.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized
