The Agricultural Sector Policy Framework (ASPF) was published in August 2012 by South Sudan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Cooperatives, and Rural Development. This document outlines strategies aimed at achieving food self-sufficiency and agro-industrial development by 2017. It identifies various challenges such as low productivity, weak institutions, and limited infrastructure, and recommends policies to enhance productivity, market access, and value chain development. The framework places emphasis on sustainable practices, gender equity, and public-private partnerships as key strategies to transform South Sudan's agricultural sector and address food security issues. This document is particularly relevant to land governance as it provides a comprehensive approach to managing agricultural resources and ensuring land tenure security.
