Abstract:
The use of the PPP model has been increasing in recent years. As of the end of 2023, according to the World Bank PPI report,[1] the annual PPP project contract value reached 86 billion dollars. Climate change, global warming and the widespread use of technology continue to increase the daily need for infrastructure investments. The PPP model started 40 years ago in transportation and energy and is now increasingly preferred in local governments, industry, OIZs, solid waste management, water and sewage disposal and management, and agricultural infrastructure projects. Sector-specific projects are starting to focus on the environment, climate and agriculture in line with future needs and global expectations. Private sector involvement in agriculture-related infrastructure investments appears to be oriented towards two main areas. Developed country investments and developing country investments
Investments in developed countries are more focused on developing and improving cold storage chains, increasing the amount of soilless agriculture, developing urban agriculture opportunities, and eliminating insecurity in supply chains, which will address future food supply challenges.
In developing countries, the focus is on ensuring stable production, increasing production quantities, increasing production quality and yield increases in basic foodstuffs with the use of new machinery, orienting producers towards main food products with public support, and transforming large public lands into agricultural areas with private sector investment in many countries, especially in Africa.
In both cases, it is possible to see the use of different private-sector financing models developing in the coming years. This paper will discuss proposals to increase the effectiveness of private-sector financing in the agricultural sector in different project implementations and will also provide regional examples.
