The objective of analysis is to demonstrate the structure of the two programmes and describe main differences, strengths, and weaknesses. The study is based on interviews with specialists from the market, financial institutions, government, and rural producer representatives. Secondary data on the programmes are also used. The results are expressed in four complementary pillars, with proposed measures for their implementation.
