Agriculture Competitiveness and Enterprise Development Project (ACED)
The Agricultural Competitiveness and Enterprise Development Project (ACED) will work on improving the competitiveness of Moldovan high value agriculture (HVA) by addressing binding constraints in targeted fruit and vegetable value chains at the marketing, production and policy levels. Complementing the upcoming Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) investment in irrigation system rehabilitation, ACED will provide critical market development and technical assistance support needed by beneficiaries as they transition to irrigated HVA production. ACED will also represent USAID’s first substantial enterprise development effort in Transnistria and will focus on helping micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Transnistrian region grow and become more competitive.
