Initially the program will have an exclusive focus on Indonesia, and over the medium term about half of the program's activities will fall under the major Support for Market Driven Adaptive Research - SADI initiative in Indonesia. The program will address the full supply chain for agricultural commodities, including production, postharvest processing and marketing issues.
