Background and Purpose
○Agriculture contributes to Goal 2 (End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture), Goal 15 (Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reserve land degradation and halt biodiversity loss), and Target 12.3 (Reduction in food loss and waste) in Goal 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) among Sustainable Development Goals.
-Agriculture plays a significant role in developing nations’ economies. The improvement of rural livelihoods related to universal pursuits of happiness as the population in developing countries heavily relies on rural areas relatively higher than developed countries. In order to realize the goal of “No one left behind,” SDGs is aimed at, there should be actions for the poor in rural areas most vulnerable to social and economic matters. Moreover, the value chain in the agriculture and forestry sector is intricately connected to regions, countries, developing and developed countries. It has been shown that the severance in the global value chain has brought about the physical disconnection, such as border closures and domestic lockdown.

○This study aims to establish a driving procurement strategy of the Republic of Korea for Rwanda in the mid-to-long-term by firstly analyzing the current status and issues of each phase of agricultural value chain in Rwanda; secondly, analyze the ODA flow of international community for resolving issues and agricultural development policies of Rwanda; thirdly identify sub-sectors which Korea has comparative advantage considering the relevance of policy between Korea and Rwanda.

Research Methodology
○The study reviews strategies and ODA flows of the international community for Rwanda and conducts literature reviews on Rwandan national development strategies and agricultural development strategies. The study also identifies agricultural sub-sectors with comparative advantages and intersectional parts with the Korean ODA model. Moreover, AHP analysis is conducted to rank the priority areas of the phases of the agricultural value chain in Rwanda through an online survey that has 28 responses from the experts in Rwandan agriculture. Due to COVID-19, the field survey was not feasible. Thus, KREI conducts joint research with Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), an international organization, in the rice sector, continuously increasing demand in coffee and the cash crops in Rwanda, in order to draw implications on the value chains.
