Introduction 1. The present Agricultural Investment Plan (AIP) for the five-year period 2011 to 2015 is based on the Agricultural Development Strategy (ADS) 2011 to 2020 and on the Agricultural Master Plan (AMP) 2011 to 2015. The ADS and the AMP have been prepared as separate documents which should be read before proceeding with the present AIP. 2. The ADS provides the framework, the vision and the long term development goals of the Government of Laos (GoL) for the sustainable development of the sector, aiming at food and income security. 3. The AMP is a roadmap for the implementation of the strategy in the coming five years. The AMP uses a Program Approach to structure the various measures and interventions. It thus resembles a conventional sub-sector approach to planning, which has the distinct advantage of a relatively easy clarification of implementation responsibilities among the respective MAF departments. On the other hand, the program approach is based upon the sound evaluation of socio-economic and agro-ecological conditions, responding directly to local needs of the stakeholders in rural areas of Laos. In a bottom-up planning and consultation process, these region-specific conditions have been considered in the overall design of the Master Plan. It is hoped that the participation of the concerned stakeholders in the regions will maximize the effectiveness of resource allocation in the agriculture and forestry sector. The geographic area approach thus has to be added as a different perspective when it comes to the local and regional adaptation of the eight programs, which is the responsibility of decentralised authorities on provincial and districts levels. 4. The present Agricultural Investment Plan (AIP) calls for the Cooperation of Development Partners and the Private Sector to enter partnerships for financing the implementation of the eight programs in the different regions of the country. 5. The AIP simulates three Investment Scenarios for the coming five years, which are termed (i) realistic, (ii) conservative and (iii) optimistic. Breakdowns of investment budgets by “Sources of Finance” and by “Implementation Programs” are presented for all three scenarios, while the additional breakdowns by “Category of Measures” (key measures, climate-related, other measures), by “Region” and by “Lead Agency” are presented for the “realistic” Scenario 1 only. 6. While the main report of the AIP is a simplified summary presentation, the core content of the data and budget calculations is presented in the Annexes, for the Scenario 1 only, for all the eight investment programs and for all measures. Since the present version of the AIP is a draft, it is bound to see a number of modifications until its final version is approved. Any modifications should be made first in the Excel calculation tables which are the basis for the Annexes and for the aggregated presentations in the main report of the AIP. 2 2. Overview of three Investment Scenarios 2.1. Assumptions Scenario 1 7. The basic assumptions of Scenario 1, termed “realistic”, have been: (1) Even considering that with the projected overall GDP growth of about 8.0 percent annually over the next five years, GoL’s tax revenues will increase significantly, the available budget for investments into the ANR sector will remain limited. The Public Investment Program (PIP) will continue to be able contributing only a modest share of the overall investments in the sector, even if – in addition to tax revenues - the direct contributions of rural communities in cash or kind are included in the calculation. (2) As from 2011, Lao PDR will become eligible to concessional loans from International Finance Institutions, such as World Bank, IFC, Asian Development, and others. The Implementation Programs, measures, programs and projects outlined in the Agricultural Master Plan (AMP) and in the present Agricultural Investment Plan (AIP) can then be partly financed a by mix of ODA grants and concessional ODA loans of substantial volume. Compared to the implementation period of the last five year plan, a very substantial increase in the overall volume of ODA funding (grants plus concessional loans) is therefore assumed for the period 2011 to 2015. (3) Being eligible to concessional loans from International Finance Institutions would have the additional effect of improving the rating of Lao PDR by International Rating Institutions, and will thus lower the interest to be paid by GoL on commercial loans on the international financial markets which then allow an additional source of finance “of last resort”. (4) Improved regulatory framework conditions, a “level playing field” and a generally improved investment climate in the Lao PDR will lead in the ANR sector to substantially increased investments from the private sector, both from foreign as from domestic private investors. The above points 2 and 3 would further ease the access of the private sector to commercial loans. For the present Scenario 1, a relatively prudent assumption has been made as to the total volume of these investments over the next five years, based on a simple linear extrapolation of the positive trends in FDI in recent years. The major targets are assumed to be the sub sector programs on “irrigated agriculture”, “commodity production” and “other agriculture and forestry infrastructure”, in this order of importance. 2.2. Assumptions Scenario 2 8. The basic assumptions of Scenario 2, termed “conservative”, have been: (1) As compared to the above Scenario 1, the Scenario 2 is extremely conservative about the likely influx of private investments, and has actually set the total volume of private investments from private foreign as well as from domestic investors to Zero over the full period of the next five years. While this might seem overly pessimistic, it is not entirely unrealistic, given the possibility of another regional or global economic and/or financial crisis which might – for some time to come – bring private investments in the Lao ANR sector to a standstill. However, even if – hopefully – this extremely conservative assumption does not materialize, various scenarios in between 1 and 2 are thinkable, with the effect of significantly reducing the total investment volume, and thus substantially decreasing the financial viability of a number of investments proposed. (2) For Scenario 2, the above assumptions 1, 2 and 3 of Scenario 1 remain unchanged. 3 2.3. Assumptions Scenario 3 9. The basic assumptions of Scenario 3, termed “optimistic”, have been: (1) As compared to the above Scenario 1, the Scenario 3 is somewhat more optimistic about the incoming ODA funds in the next five years, and is very optimistic about the likely influx of private investments which are assumed to increase exponentially instead of only linear. (2) Substantial increases of ODA funds are notably assumed for certain investments measures related to sustainable forestry, climate change adaptation and biodiversity. Even though the procedures of mobilizing and distributing funds under the REDD mechanism (see ADS and AMP) are not yet entirely clear, the international pressure is on to find appropriate solutions to substitute the Kyoto protocol before it expires by 2012. This will mean that regulations on the reduction of CO2 emissions will continue to be compulsory, and related to global subsidy mechanisms for the poorer developing countries, such as Lao PDR. – Combined with the introduction of a conducive regulatory framework, GoL will introduce “eco-systems rehabilitation licences” and enter the global carbon market with internationally certified “CO2 sink” projects which will mobilize very substantial amounts from international private investors. (3) In the optimistic Scenario 3, the greatest potential for an increase of FDI is seen in "irrigated agriculture”, notably referring to irrigation infrastructure which on large scale commercial plantations and concessions is likely to generate very attractive returns on investments. (4) The assumption referring to the limited possibilities of the PIP remains largely unchanged, even in the optimistic Scenario 3. 2.4.

As shown in Table 1, the total investment volume for the next five years in the “realistic” Scenario 1 is somewhat below 2.0 billion US $. With modest contributions from PIP, the contributions from ODA and FDI are about even. 11. In the conservative Scenario 2, the total investment volume is around 1.0 billion US $. Compared to Scenario 1, the contributions from PIP and ODA remain unchanged in nominal terms. However, due to FDI being assumed as Zero, the relative share of ODA is almost 90 % of the total investment volume. 12. In the optimistic Scenario 3, the total investment volume is around 4.0 billion US $. With an over-proportional increase in FDI, the share of FDI increases to almost two thirds of the total volume, while ODA comprises about one third. 2.5. Probability Assessment 13. In the light of an increasingly dynamic and globalized economy, in view of the increased exposure of Laos as a country and of its farmers, SME and larger private investors to the fluctuations in this global context, in view also of the possibility of a renewed global and/or regional economic crisis or just another burst of an “investment bubble”, but not least in view of the tremendous untapped potential of Lao’s natural resources for domestic and foreign investors, it is virtually impossible to come up with a reliable forecast on future investments trends over as long a period as the next five years. 14. Nevertheless, after numerous consultations with domestic and international expert economists, it has been decided to accept the Scenario 1 (or some condition near this scenario) as the most likely investment profile for the next 5 year period for the ANR sector in Lao PDR. 15. However, neither the conservative, nor the optimistic scenario can be entirely excluded. They simply represent the extreme poles on a continuum of likely investment scenarios. After all, the real outcome will also be the result of a successful appeal to international Development Partners and the Private Sector to actually “Embrace Cooperation”. 5 3. Scenario 1: realistic 3.1. Breakdown by Source of Finance 16. For Scenario 1, the shares of PIP, ODA and FDI in percent of the total investment volume (1.86 billion US$) are illustrated in Figure 1. Fig. 1: Scenario 1: Shares of Investments by Source of Finance PIP; 6% ODA; 48% FDI; 46% 3.2. Breakdown by Implementation Programs 17. The shares of the eight investment programs in percent of the total investment volume under Scenario 1 are illustrated in Figure 2. Fig. 2: Scenario 1: Shares of Investments by 8 Implementation Programs 1 Food; 12% 2 Commodities & Farm Orga; 18% 3 Sust. Product.; 7% 4 Forestry; 7% 5 Irrigation; 37% 6 Infrastructure; 13% 7 Res. & Extension; 4% 8 HRD; 2% 6 18. As can be seen in Figure 2, by far the largest share of the total investments is foreseen for Program 5 (Irrigated Agriculture) with 37 %, followed by Program 2 (Commodity Production and Farmer Organizations) with 18 %, and Program 6 (Other Infrastructure) with 13 %. 19. An overview of the projected investments for the eight implementation programs in nominal and percentage terms is provided by Table 2. Table 2: Scenario 1: Overview of 8 Programs PIP ODA FDI TOTAL 120.27 898.26 857.75 1,876.27 6% 48% 46% 12% 15.57 154.65 61.00 231.22 Sub-Total in percent of Total 13% 17% 7% 12% 18% 17.62 121.70 200.25 339.57 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 15% 14% 23% 18% 7% 21.45 88.50 19.00 128.95 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 18% 10% 2% 7% 7% 8.54 85.40 46.00 139.94 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 7% 10% 5% 7% 37% 23.26 215.66 451.00 689.92 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 19% 24% 53% 37% 13% 25.75 159.50 56.00 241.25 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 21% 18% 7% 13% 4% 4.90 41.05 24.50 70.45 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 4% 5% 3% 4% 2% 3.18 31.80 0.00 34.98 Sub-Total in percent of TOTAL 3% 4% 0% 2% Investment Volume (in million USD) Source of Finance 1)Programs by Source of Finance Percent of TOTAL Program 3: Sustainable Production and Rural Development Program 1: Food Production Program 7: Agriculture and Forestry Research and Extension Total Program 4: Forestry Development Program 5: Irrigated Agriculture Program 2: Commodity Production and Farmer Organizations Program 6: Other Agriculture and Forestry Infrastructure by Source of Finance in percent of TOTAL Program 8: Human Resource Development 20. As shown in Table 2, the 37 % share of Program 5 (Irrigated Agriculture) translates into almost 700 million US $ in nominal terms, of which about 450 million US $ are expected to come from FDI and about 215 million US $ from ODA. The 18 % share of Program 2 (Commodity Production and Farmer Organizations) translates into 340 million US $ in nominal terms, of which by far the largest part of 200 million US $ is expected to come from FDI and about 120 million US $ from ODA. By contrast, the roughly 240 million US $ for Program 6 (Other Infrastructure) are expected to be mainly mobilized from ODA (160 million US $). 21. The details of all eight Investment Programs are presented in the Annexes. 22. Figure 3 below illustrates for each of the eight programs the projected contributions to the program budgets by Source of Finance (PIP, ODA, FDI). 7 Fig. 3: Scenario 1: Program Budgets by Source of Finance PIP 10% ODA 52% FDI 38% Program 1 PIP 15% ODA 62% FDI 23% Program 3 PIP 3% ODA 31% FDI 66% Program 5 PIP 7% ODA 58% FDI 35% Program 7 PIP 6% ODA 61% FDI 33% Program 4 PIP 11% ODA 66% FDI 23% Program 6 PIP 9% ODA 91% FDI 0% Program 8 8 3.3. Breakdown by Category of Measures 23. For each of the programs, all investment measures have been grouped in 3 categories: (i) key measures, (ii) measures related to Climate Change Adaptation or Biodiversity an (iii) other specific Investments, Programs and Projects. Table 3 indicates the split of the total investment volume under Scenario 1 among these 3 categories. Table 3: Scenario 1: Investments by Category of Measures PIP ODA FDI TOTAL Total 120 898 858 1,876 by Source of Finance in % of TOTAL 6% 48% 46% Key Measures 54 438 666 1,158 Sub-Total in percent of Total 45% 49% 78% 62% Measures related to Climate Change Adaptation or Biodiversity 15 152 67 234 Sub-Total in percent of Total 13% 17% 8% 12% Other specific Investments, Programs and Projects 53 326 154 532 Sub-Total in percent of Total 44% 36% 18% 28% Investment Volume (in million USD) Source of Finance 1) Investments by Category of Measures 24. As shown in Table 3 and illustrated in Figure 4 below, about 60 % of the investments are categorized as “key measures”, while only a relatively small percentage of 13 % is specifically targeted to measures related to climate change adaptation or biodiversity. – In the optimistic Scenario 3, this latter percentage of “green measures” is by far higher, since more optimistic assumptions were made on the mobilization of additional funds for climate-related programs, financed both from ODA (e.g. REDD) and FDI (eco-systems restoration licences, carbon trade). Fig. 4: Scenario 1: Investment Shares by Category of Measures Key Measures 60%Climate / Biodiv. 12% Other Investm. 28% 9 3.4. Breakdown by Region 25. The central Government of Lao PDR has a responsibility for the people in all parts and regions of the country. Following the “geographic area approach” outlined in the Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS), the present AIP therefore implies the pursuance of reducing regional disparities, and maintaining a regional balance of the investments proposed with the AIP (in all 3 scenarios). 26. For the Scenario 1, Table 4 and Figure 5 show the breakdown of the total investment volume by geographic area or region. As a methodological problem, it should be noted that by far not all investment measures can be associated with a specific region (for simplicity here only categorized as North, Central and South). In fact, most of the planned measures are foreseen to be implemented in more than one of the geographic regions, some of them in all three regions. Therefore, a residual category of “Implementation in all Regions” has been created to express this fact.

Breakdown by Lead Agency 27. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) is organized in a number of technical departments and associated institutions, such as the “National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute” (NAFRI) and the “National Agriculture and Forestry Extension Service” (NAFES). In accordance with its specific mandate, each department or institution has a certain responsibility for the implementation of the investment measures outlined in the Agricultural Master Plan (AMP). The financial resources for the implementation for these measures go along with the specific technical responsibilities. The institutional unit with the main responsibility for implementing a certain investment measure is termed in the present AIP the “lead agency”. 28. However, there is overlap in the mandates of some departments. For a considerable number of investment measures, two or more of the departments have to closely cooperate within MAF; other measures even require inter-ministerial cooperation. As mentioned in the AMP, several measures of re-organizing the mandates and responsibilities of departments are planned in the near future, some of which are already on the way (e.g. NAFES). Not least, final decisions about responsibilities for certain measures and programs are not yet taken and will eventually be the result of a negotiation process, and have to be approved by the Minister. 29. Keeping these reservations in mind, the distribution of the “Investment Pie” under Scenario 1 can be illustrated by Figure 6 and is shown in percentage and nominal terms in Table 5, below. 30. Apart from NAFRI and NAES, the abbreviations used for the departments are: PAFO DAFO Provincial / District Agriculture and Forestry Office DOI Dept of Irrigation DOA Dept of Agriculture DOLF Dept of Livestock and Fisheries DOF Dept of Forestry DOP Dept of Planning DOFI Dept of Forest Inspection DOPer Dept of Personnel Fig. 6: Scenario 1: Investment Shares by Lead Agency DAFO; 1.3% DOA; 7.3% DOF; 8.0% DOFI; 0.3% DOI; 40.1% DOLF; 5.8% DOP; 9.9% DOPer; 3.8% NAFES; 17.6% NAFRI; 8.4% PAFO; 0.4% 11 Table 5: Scenario 1: Investments by Lead Agency Investments by Lead Agency PIP ODA FDI TOTAL Total 120 898 858 1,876 by Source of Finance in % of TOTAL 6% 48% 46% DAFO 2 22 0 24 Sub-Total in percent of Total 2% 2% 0% 1% DOA 6 41 89 136 Sub-Total in percent of Total 5% 5% 10% 7% DOF 19 88 42 148 Sub-Total in percent of Total 16% 10% 5% 8% DOFI 1 6 0 6 Sub-Total in percent of Total 0% 1% 0% 0% DOI 26 242 478 745 Sub-Total in percent of Total 21% 27% 56% 40% DOLF 5 46 57 108 Sub-Total in percent of Total 4% 5% 7% 6% DOP 12 111 61 185 Sub-Total in percent of Total 10% 12% 7% 10% DOPer 6 62 2 70 Sub-Total in percent of Total 5% 7% 0% 4% NAFES 32 178 116 327 Sub-Total in percent of Total 27% 20% 14% 17% NAFRI 11 106 39 157 Sub-Total in percent of Total 9% 12% 5% 8% PAFO, others 1 10 1 7 Sub-Total in percent of Total 1% 1% 0% 0% Investment Volume (in million USD) Source of Finance 1) 12 4.
