Multicountry Observational Study Mission on Productivity Gainsharing in Agriculture

Productivity gainsharing is a model in which improved productivity, efficiency, or financial gains are fairly distributed among stakeholders. The 2025 APO report Advancing Shared Prosperity: Best Practices in Productivity Gainsharing in Asia’s Agrifood Sector highlighted that gainsharing is essential for equitable profit distribution, efficiency improvements, and sustainability in agrifood systems. Best practices will be showcased in this study mission.

Among APO members, Nepal has made substantial progress in high-value cash crops such as tea, coffee, and cardamom, which now compete effectively in global markets. The dairy industry continues to expand with innovative products like milk-based dog chews, while agrotourism is a promising avenue linking agriculture with rural tourism. Cooperative models, contract farming, and farmer/producer organizations in these subsectors drive value addition, expand markets, and improve farmer livelihoods.
