Target Increase During Phase 2
“* since the target setting in NRDS2 has not yet been finalized, the targets for 2030 are tentatively set against 2018 figures from FAOSTAT, as follows: Production: 100% increase; Area: 37% increase; and Yield: 46% increase. These percentages are the same as the rates of increase for the respective indicators set as targets at the CARD initiative level.”
