4 Part I Introduction

1.1. Short description of the program

1. Uzbekistan’s horticultural products are fast becoming the second largest agricultural export commodity group, after cotton. Horticultural export revenues have more than tripled since 2006. Uzbekistan is geographically well positioned to take advantage of the large and growing markets for horticultural products domestically and abroad. Of the 20 million tons of horticultural output in 2016, only 15% was processed. Of the 3 million tons of fruit produced, 69% are consumed fresh, 20% are processed, and 11% are exported, while for the 10 million tons of vegetables, 81.0% are consumed fresh, 11.3% are processed, 4.3% are used for seeds, and 3.4% are exported. There is significant opportunity for improved value addition from increased processing and exports of both fresh and processed products. Meeting quality and food safety requirements of the more stringent export markets remain a challenge.

2. The Government is supporting the subsector in many important ways. It has adopted a special set of policies for the horticulture subsector. An additional 220,000 ha of agricultural lands will be gradually released from cotton and wheat in favor of horticulture and fodder crops by 2021.

3. ADB approved a loan for $154 million Concessional OCR loans (COL) on 25 November 2016 to finance the Project. Loan (3471-UZB) and project agreements were signed on 3 March 2017 and made effective on 28 April 2017. Following rapid disbursement of existing loan, ADB approved on 14 June 2018 an additional financing of $198 million (COL) from ADB’s ordinary capital resources to increase the scope of the project. Subsidiary Loan Agreements were signed between Ministry of Finance, UZAIFSA and seven selected PFIs, to participate in the Project, namely: Asaka Bank, Davr Bank, Ipak Yuli Bank, Ipoteka Bank, National Bank of Uzbekistan, Turon Bank, and Uzpromstroybank. On June 27, 2019 were signed amendments to Subsidiary Loan Agreements for Uzpromstroybank and Turon Bank by increasing the loan amount from unallocated funds.

4. The additional financing project aims to help the Government of Uzbekistan to scale up the existing project’s support to horticulture value chain development in all 12 regions nationwide and in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. It will increase the outreach of PFIs and improve access to market-based bank finance for horticulture enterprises (farmers, agro-processing enterprises, owners and operators of cold storage facilities, and trading and logistics service suppliers). These will include both additional enterprises not financed under the original project (financed by Loan 3471-UZB) and enterprises already financed under the original project to enable them to expand operations.

5. ADB funds may not be applied to the activities described on the ADB Prohibited Investment Activities List (PIAL) set forth in Appendix 5 of the SPS, and the Project Prohibited Investment Activities List.This project is categorized as FI for environment and FI (treated as C) for involuntary resettlement, and indigenous peoples safeguards since there are no indigenous people’s communities in Uzbekistan.

6. The government shall cause each PFI to ensure that the preparation, design construction, implementation, operation, and decommissioning of each qualified subproject comply with (i) all applicable laws and regulations of the government relating to environment, health, and safety; (ii) the Environment Safeguards; and (iii) the ESMS, and any corrective or preventative actions set forth in a Safeguards Monitoring Report

7. PFIs issue sub-loans in US dollars and/or local currency to eligible sub-borrowers (farmers and agricultural enterprisers). Sub-loans will have a tenor of up to 10 years and interest rate 5-6%. The maximum sub-loan size is $5 million.

8. The project has Effective Gender Mainstreaming (EGM) classification. Subprojects financed by 5 PFIs’ shall employ at least 20% female workers. 1.2 Summary of activities and project progress during the previous 12 months

9. As of January 1, 2021, out of USD 198.0 million (Loan-3673), USD 186.9 million has been disbursed to sub-borrowers to finance 182 subprojects including modern cold storage facilities, horticulture product processing, intensive gardens, modern greenhouses, agricultural technologies, packaging and others. Credit line disbursed for the purpose of modern greenhouses creation (USD 142.7 million), processing of horticulture products (USD 22.2 million) and modern refrigeration storages (USD 17.6 million). A few projects were financed to establish enterprises operating in packaging sphere of horticultural products (USD 2.7 million), to purchase agriculture technology (USD 0.6 million) and creation of intensive gardens (USD 1.5 million). Allocations and withdrawals of credit line were done by PFIs as shown in the table 1 below:

11. Since the beginning of the project implementation 182 subprojects were financed, In an environmental respect, as the Project screening demonstrated,157 out of 182 financed projects (86.26%) were assessed as the projects of Category "B", while 25 projects (13.74%) were evaluated as Category “C” projects according to the legislation of Uzbekistan in the field of environmental protection and ADB's requirement. As the results of the project screening evidence, none of the projects belonged to Category “A”. as shown in the table below:

12. All subprojects underwent preliminary environmental screening by the PFIs strictly following the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) procedures. All 182 projects did not need the development of a Resettlement Action Plan within the scope of the Project.

13. All PFIs have individual contracts with ADB. According to this contract all PFIs– „shall ensure that the preparation, design construction, implementation operation and decommissioning of each Subproject comply with (a) all applicable laws and regulations of the Borrower related to environment, health, and safety; (b) the environmental safeguards and (c) the ESMS and any corrective or preventative actions set forth in a safeguards Monitoring Report”.

14. The State Environmental Expertise (SEE) was carried out for each subproject on the basis of a draft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) and obtained the approval of the Environmental Conclusions of the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection. Control over observance of the requirements of environmental legislation at the enterprises of each sub-project is assigned to the regional department for ecology and environmental protection (depending on which region and district the particular subproject belongs to). During the monitoring, the PFIs check that each sub 7 borrower meets the requirements of the ESMS in accordance with the national regulations and requirements of ADB.

15. As of December 2020, a preliminary estimate indicates that the project has helped to establish 195,8 hectares (ha) of intensive orchards and 404,3 ha of water- and energy-saving greenhouses; increased refrigerated storage capacity by 35 100 tons (on the basis of one-off single load capacity), post-harvest processing capacity by 97,437 tons, and packaging material manufacture of 7,5 million square meters; and procured 9 units of agricultural machinery. Summary table of activities of Created capacity from disbursed subproject during the reporting period is given in the Table 4.

16. According to paragraph (l) of Section 6.01 of the Subsidiary loan agreement, (SLA) PFIs are provided annual reports on the effectiveness of implementation of environmental and social measures. Tables 4 and 5 indicats summaries of extended subloans using ADB funds within the Horticulture Value Chain Development Project (HVCDP).

1.3 Project organization and environmental management team, including organizational relationships with PFIs, sub-borrowers etc.

17. A project management office (PMO) has been set up under the existing organization of Rural Restructuring Agency. According to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 21.11.2018 №940, the Agency for implementation of projects in the field of agroindustry and food security was established (UZAIFSA) on the base of RRA.

18. The PMO is provided with highly qualified staff and operational costs and it is responsible for monitoring the project implementation, including training, capacity development, and providing technical support to PFIs. In order to save the cost of engaging a large team of consultants for project management and to ensure efficient utilization of the loan fund allocated to project management (estimated at USD 3.0 million). PMO staff included in-house UZAIFSA specialists. The PMO is responsible for overall environmental compliance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

23. A PFI is responsible for conducting proper pre-investment inspection on prospective subborrowers in accordance with the PFI’s prevailing credit and risk management policies and procedures and following appropriate commercial banking criteria together with past and ongoing environmental performance. In case if such inspection was not undertaken or is not undertaken in with appropriate level of rigor, the subborrower may be required to immediately repay to the PFI any disbursed funds and the PFI to repay such funds to MOF, in accordance with the terms of the SLA.

Part II Environmental issues

2.1. Environmental issues in the previous 12 months.

24. During the reporting period, the monitoring of subprojects was carried out by the UZAIFSA and PFI. UZAIFSA ‘s monitoring department conducts monitoring at the project sites once every six months and PFI specialists who were especially trained and instructed in the framework of monitoring compliance of the Environmental Plan, labor and safety measures. In line with the ESMS monitoring requirements, the credit officer/ESMS coordinator conducts monitoring of environmental issues and risks as part of a general monitoring process every six-month.

25. The PFIs’ quarterly progress reports include the status of compliance with safeguards covenants. Monitoring of environmental legislation compliance at the enterprises of each subproject is assigned to the regional department for ecology and environmental protection. The sub- borrowers are also responsible for their own regular monitoring and compliance. If non- compliances are observed, non-compliance letters are issued to the sub-borrowers with deadlines to close, subject to financial penalties if not complied with. According to monitoring results, the main non-compliances observed were mainly related to health and safety, handling and storage of pesticides and mineral fertilizers, waste management, not using of PPE by workers, non-satisfactory sanitarian conditions for dining facilities, solid and liquid waste, spills, garbage etc. 10

26. During the review mission of the Asian Development Bank, which took place remotely from September 7 to 11, 2020, meetings were held with PFIs and UZAIFSA. The mission discussed with PFIs and UZAIFSA the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) implementation via remote meeting on September 8, 2020. The mission made sure that all PFIs established ESMS maintained as part of bank’s overall management system and assigned credit officers as ESMS coordinator. The mission also noted the importance of timely monitoring and capacity building of PFI, which was carried out within the framework of the project Horticulture Value Chain Development Project No. 3471 to verify compliance with the implementation of ESMS. 102 PFI employees participated in the training.

27. In the framework of loan # 3471 a consultant was hired and the PFIs’ capacity building in the implementation of the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) was provided. In this regard, the Agency and the consulting company "Eco-Spectri" LLC, hereinafter referred to as the Consultant, signed a contract on December 6, 2019 for consulting services on Compliance review of Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) implementation; and the training on environmental and social screening and monitoring of sub-projects. Under the terms of the contract, the Consultant conducted training, review and monitoring of sub-projects throughout the Republic, where a selectively 40 sub-projects funded in the framework of the loans 3471 and 3671 were reviewed/verified for compliance with the ESMS. On November 30, 2020, the Consultant presented the final report and the corrective action plan approved by the Asian Development Bank.

28. The subprojects, which were assigned Environmental Category “B”, as per the charged obligation, are monitored at least once in every six months. According to the monitoring reports of PFIs only visual and desktop monitoring are conducted under the subprojects. None of the PFIs monitoring groups owns the equipment to measure the environmental quality indicators. Consequently, the PFI representatives undertake the monitoring only by visualization and exploration of the environmental documents developed within the scope of the subprojects. All inspections are documented in written form (Annex 8, template 3 with images supported - if necessary). Photographs of the site monitoring are given in Annex 1.

29. In case of complaints of the population or other concerned parties, needing the identification of the environmental quality indicators by means of measurements, the relevant unit of “Goskomekologia “provides the required measurements based on the Resolution No. 541 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated September 07, 2020.

30. All discrepancies observed in the past reporting period during the visit in 2020, have been significantly improved. As the annual reports submitted by PFIs show, there were no complaints filed and no incidents occurred in the implementation phase of the subprojects in 2020 consequently, within the scope of the subprojects, no corrective measures were developed.

31. According to the annual report submitted in 2020, environmental and social monitoring conducted in the framework of sub-projects funded by the PFIs - Ipoteka Bank, Turon Bank, Promstroybank, Asaka bank revealed non-compliance with the requirements that were submitted in writing form to the Beneficiary. The annual reports submitted in 2020 provided in the Annex#2.

32. Consequently, corrective actions were developed. According to monitoring results, the main non- compliances observed were mainly related to health and safety, handling and storage of pesticides and mineral fertilizers waste management, not using of PPE by workers, non- satisfactory sanitarian conditions for dining facilities, solid and liquid waste, spills, garbage etc. Monitoring checklists and a non-compliance report are provided in the Annex #3.

33. During the monitoring by UZAIFSA, supervisory measures were taken to prevent activities sub- projects that cause a negative impact on the environment of such factors as nature protection, labour protection and safety, soil pollution, impact on the soil due to the use of agricultural chemicals, soil salinization, environmental sanitation and dangerous factors of food contamination, waste management and timely removal of industrial and household waste outside 11 the facilities in accordance with the established procedure.

34. The nature and scale of impact on the environment is insignificant and cannot lead the quality of the environment to negative changes. 2.2. The findings and conclusions of the monitoring

35. In the course of monitoring, it was revealed that the heads of all farms have higher or secondary specialized education. Each studied greenhouse farm has an agronomist who conducts all agrotechnical activities for the cultivation of agricultural products. During the conversation, it was identified that the latter have sufficient experience in growing products in greenhouse conditions. Also, some have international experience working in greenhouses. Specialists freely analyze the production process of vegetable crops, operate automated installations, determine the needs of plants during the growing season, carry out preparatory and post-harvest activities. The structure and conditions of growing vegetables are agreed with the companies that supply the seed material and in accordance with the instructions provided by the greenhouse builders.

36. During the visits to the projects with refrigeration storage and processing of horticulture complexes units in February – March of 2020, minor non-compliances were identified, as: garbage in cesspools, safety breach associated with the equipment of working personnel: - LLC «Agrosoy Plast», LLC “Fashion Trend Furniture” - insignificant irregularities were revealed for warehousing and storage of building materials, a household garbage was observed in the project area - “Muzaffar” LLC- on construction stage – Occupational health and safety of workers: were absent workers ' personal protective equipment (helmets, if necessary, masks and goggles, uniforms and protective shoes), Unavailability of environmental documentation (IEE / ESMS) at construction sites; - «Dolina stroy» LLC- breakage in the drainage channel draining water from the freezer.

37. During the visits to greenhouses in September – October of 2020, by UZAIFSA environmental specialisit was observed: - LLC "Almaz Green Valley" LLC, LLC “Azamat Elshod",”Mirfayz Parfyum Invest” LLC - chemicals storages and preparation аге not constructed yet and thеiг handling is not done in full compliance with the safety rulеs; - “Uchkuprik Vegetable Business" LLC, ", Zarafshan Grand Boglari - irregularities were revealed for warehousing and storage of building materials, - LLC «, NRJ Agro centures" - were absent workers ' personal protective equipment (masks and goggles, uniforms and protective shoes) non-satisfactory sanitarian conditions for dining facilities, incorrect storage of building material in the greenhouse.

- LLC “Exim Agro Logistic” LLC «Samarkand Agro Green House» LLC "Barakali Chandler, LLC “Kras Net Servis ”, LLC "Farhona Limonari 1”, LLC “Buri devonbegi” ,LLC ”Sardor Sarbon” LLC “Salomat Suxrob Ziyo Farm”, LLC Zarafshan Grand Boglari, - on construction stage – lack of environmental documentation (IEE / ESMS) at construction sites; in addition, it was requested to add a detailed pest management plan, storage conditions and use of pesticides, chemicals management, experience and skills in the use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers, as well as safety measures plan to the ESIA project.

38. The nature and scale of the environmental impact of all the above non-compliances are insignificant and could be effectively eliminated.

39. Recommendations for solving the above environmental problems are indicated in the paragraph 2.3.

40. Prior to the implementation of any type of activity in the field of horticulture production, ESMS manager of each certain PFI’s informed one by one all beneficiaries of the sub-projects on environmental and technical safety requirements. During the reporting period, any other issues related to noise and vibration, water and air quality have not been identified. There were no any

12 accidents or emergency except a minor disruption. Complaints from nearby residential populations were not received. Environmental inspections are carried out by specialists of the district department for ecology and environmental safeguard in accordance with committee's internal environmental monitoring program.

2.3. Recommendations are required to show how any exceedances will be prevented in the future. 41. UZAIFSA Environmental specialist suggested recommendations for identified deficiencies in the above indicated sub-projects, particularly: - Persons who carry out spraying use minimal or unsafe equipment, although safe equipment may be available. Many knapsack sprayers with plastic pumps start to leak after two to three years, thus creating a risk for people using the sprayers by contaminating their clothing. Therefore, it is very important to use the appropriate protective equipment as well as timely maintenance and repairs. - Disposal of domestic water, water run-offs from hydroponic irrigation of the greenhouse, as well as the remains of storm and rainwater must be carried out properly. That is, the generated excess run-off water should be collected in a waterproof pit in the volume of 5 m3, after which, according to the measures of their accumulation, they are transferred to treatment facilities for their further treatment and waste disposal by specialized organizations. Moreover, it is necessary to provide copies of contracts with appropriete companies. - Contracts with a solid waste disposal company were requested. And also it was requested to indicate the process of collecting them on the territory of the greenhouse area in special containers, before their disposal in special waste disposal sites. - as specified above, a very important issue which requires the subproject beneficiaries and the PFI attention is to improve the efficiency and safety while handling mineral fertilizers and pesticides, in particular fоr greenhouse and orchards subproject. - improve the work on monitoring environmental protection and safety at construction sites and training workers and own personnel on environmental aspects, as well as conducting basic monitoring in accordance with the ZVOS.

- correct all the shortcomings and irregularities made during the work, tidy up collective protective equipment, clean the proper areas of rubbish, provide all workers with personal protective equipment, organize medical kits, equip electrical equipment and fire boards, organize safety and health nooks.

- Keep all floors clean in the premises and prevent fertilizer from being carried by people or machines outside the project site Store each fertilizer in a separate container in a folding room or in a fixed place. The personnel must complete relevant training session or instruction.

- Integrated methods of pest control with the rational use of both chemical and non-chemical methods of control. 42. It was also recommended to carry out activities aimed at ensuring the readiness of the object to actions to prevent, localize and eliminate the consequences of accidents or emergencies. There were instructions, recommendations given to ensure healthy, and safety use of pesticides: - Wearing recommended protective clothing (long-sleeved shirt and trousers, socks, boots and gloves) in order to reduce exposure or skin contact; - Chemically resistant shoes and gloves; Use of safety glasses; Use of approved respirators; - Stand on the windward side when using pesticides; Avoid contact of food with pesticides; - When pouring pesticides, keep the container below eye level to prevent eye contact; - After handling pesticides, wash hands thoroughly with soap before eating or drinking; For all recommendations above have been taken appropriate measures by UZAIFSA and PFIs which are given in Chapter 3.2 13 Part III: Compliance with ADB’s Social Protection Requirements and ADB’s Prohibited Investment Activities List

3.1 Provide assessment on these two sets of requirements.

43. ADB's requirements for social protection were met. According to the list of prohibited types of investment activities, preliminary environmental screenings of social and safeguard measures were carried out. 44. During of the project implementation, PFI specialists conducted a preliminary analysis (screening) of each sub-project with respect to social safeguard measures. 45. Prior to approval, subprojects were screened according to the following questions:

Part IV: ESMS operations (for PFIs which are financing B-category subprojects)

4.1. A brief description of the effectiveness of the ESMS within 12 months.

56. According to paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 in Loan agreement between Republic of Uzbekistan and ADB dated 05.11.2018, no withdrawal shall be made from the Loan account for a PFI for the purposes of any qualified subprojects until such PFI has established the ESMS in a manner satisfactory to ADB and has appointed designated staff who is capable and adequately trained in fully implementing the ESMS.

57. For each sub-project, a State Environmental Expertise (SEE) was carried out on the basis of a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and obtained approval Environmental Conclusions of the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection. Control over observance of the requirements of environmental legislation at the enterprises of each sub-project is assigned to the regional department for ecology and environmental protection (depending on which region and district the particular subproject belongs to).

58. During the monitoring, the PFIs check that each sub borrower meets the requirements of the ESMS in accordance with the national regulations and requirements of ADB.

59. During the project implementation period, none of the PFIs did face significant environmental problems for each sub-project. There were no exceedances in the frame of established norms for the current subprojects.

60. ADB's requirements for social protection were met. According to the list of prohibited types of investment activities, a preliminary screening of social safeguard measures were carried out. All requirements are implemented based on the documents of the ESMS. Implementation of corrective actions was not required.

61. Guided by the agreement on the refinancing of part of the ADB loan, Article VI, Section 6.01, paragraph (l) of the PFIs provided annual reports on the effectiveness of the implementation of environmental and social measures. In this report, the information should be provided by PFIs and responsible persons for the implementation of the ESMS.

62. At the end of January 2020 and the beginning of February 2021, all PFIs provided to UZAIFSA annual reports on the effectiveness of environmental and social measures implementation. Based on the analysis of the submitted reports, it can be seen that the process of subprojects reviews and approval was carried out in accordance with the national legal and normative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The risk categorization was implemented on the base of the screening for the presence of environmental and social risks under the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan and ADB requirements.

63. All subprojects with category "B" passed pre-investment monitoring. Monitoring of environmental safeguard and social issues in the framework of sub loans was implemented particularly on a bi- annual basis by the Bank staff. Please see the Annex 2. PFIs provided annual reports on the effectiveness of the implementation of environmental and social measures.

16 64. All discrepancies observed in the past reporting period during the visit in 2020, have been significantly improved. As the annual reports submitted by PFIs show, there were no complaints filed and no incidents occurred in the implementation phase of the subprojects in 2020 consequently, within the scope of the subprojects, no corrective measures were developed

65. No issues related to social safeguard measures (land acquisition, individual’s/commercials displacement, loss of income/livelihood) were observed.

4.2 Capacity building activities

66. In order to increase the capacity, training sessions were organized in the framework of the project: - presentation for PFI’s on the implementation of environmental management and social issues was conducted by ADB Technical consultant Armine Yedigaryan, (December 10, 2018);

67. Within the framework of the “Horticulture Value Chain Development #3471” project, In December 2019 AIFSA recruited the consulting firm for compliance review of ESMS implementation and capacity building trainings. The contract period was originally for 4 months and included random review of 40 sub-projects and trainings in 5 provinces (Andijan, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm and Tashkent). The main goal of the project was to train environmental and social professionals of PFIs in: (i) environmental and social screening, (ii) preparation and implementation of environmental and social monitoring; (iii) registration of non-compliances and preparation of corrective actions; and (iv) preparation of semi-annual and annual reports.

68. The Consultant conducted 40 sub-project monitoring reviews and 3 two-day training sessions in the Bukhara, Andijan, and Samarkand regions, for PFI staff. The Consultant provided video training programs which were sent to all PFIs for further use.

69. Before commencement of training in each country, the project implementation team held initial briefing meetings with the representatives of PFIs so as to have a common understanding of the objectives of the assignment as well as agreeing on the participants to be involved in the training, the grouping of participants, the detailed scheduling of training, and the expected outcomes.

70. Based on the results of the training seminars' analysis, it was found that the PFIs demonstrated a high level of interest towards the existing problems of environmental safeguard and they also indicated the importance of the knowledge gained during the training seminars to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural production, as well as safety in the storage and use of pesticides.

71. PFIs periodically conduct training sessions for current and new employees involved in meeting the ESMS requirements.

72. UZAIFSA, in the collaboration with the ADB, is continuously building the capacity of the PFIs on environmental issues. So, in March 2020 training seminars were held in the framework of the new project "Livestock Value Chain Development Project" on the topic "Implementation of the environmental and social management system in the bank's credit cycle". Seminars were attended by such banks as JSCB Turonbank, JSCB Uzpromstroybank, JSCMB Ipoteka bank and etc.

4.3. Specific data on the following activities is recommended

Site inspections and audits – to summarize the number and type of site visits.

73. Monitoring was carried out on a half-yearly basis during a year. Audits by the banks were 17 conducted in January Fabruary March, September, October, December, of the reporting period, and the UZAIFSA implemented it in, February, March, September, October and December. Totally 98 financed sub projects have been inspected out of 182.Monitoring of remained and newly financed projects will be conducted in the next reporting period.

74. Prior to the implementation of any type of activity in the field of horticulture production, all beneficiaries of subprojects were aware of environmental and technical safety requirements. To the present day, problems related to noise and vibration, water and air quality have not been identified. There were no any accidents or emergency situation. During the monitoring, the PFIs also checked the current environmental state of the sub- projects. Noncompliance case.

75. Some non-compliance was observed during site visits. Among them: untimely disposal of wastes from construction sites, non-satisfactory sanitarian conditions for dining facilities, not using PPE by workers, solid and liquid waste, spills, garbage, after being notified, all non-compliances were eliminated. Each subproject was provided with the recommendations on methods of storing waste and observing safety regulations. Corrective action plans.

76. Issues were identified in respect of environmental protection and safety during the monitoring of the subprojects using pesticides or fertilizers in the production cycle. The procedures to store, use and neutralize the pesticides and fertilizers were violated. During the monitoring of subprojects, could not record environmental documents (IEE/ZVOS, ESMS or inspection reports) at the construction or production site; it was recommended for each sub-borrower to have environmental documents for the project area.

77. Most of the subprojects have no a grievance log book on the construction and production sites. Consultation and complaints.

78. Prior to the financing of each subproject, the PFI specialist consulted the beneficiaries about the environmental and social requirements of ADB. In this, regard no complaint was received. Part V: Conclusion and action plan 5.1. Conclusions.

79. The annual report on the monitoring of safeguard measures of the project provided information on the implementation of the project in the field of development of the value chain in the horticulture sector (additional financing). Based on the PFI data, it can be concluded that the project helped to increase the productivity of farming activities, increase the processing and storage capacity and reduce post-harvest losses due to the implementation and improvement of intensive gardening practices, modern and efficient greenhouses and processing, storage and refrigeration capacities. PFIs have expanded the coverage of farmers and enterprises, 182 subprojects were financed during the entire project period, while in the reporting period - there were 28 subprojects financed. Each sub-project was carried out by SEE based on the developed draft EIS and agreed Environmental Conclusions of the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection.

80. PFIs provided annual reports to UZAIFSA on the effectiveness of environmental and social measures. The received annual reports on the implementation of the ESMS from the PFIs for 2020 were analyzed and examined for compliance with the list of prohibited investment activities of the ADB (PIAL), the selection, classification and verification procedure; the organizational structure and staffing, including skills and knowledge in the environmental and social sphere; the existence of an Environmental Management Plan; the Grievance Mechanism and Monitoring 18 checklists.

81. The issues of applying mineral fertilizers and pest management have a direct impact on the environment, on farmer’s health as well as on the quality of agricultural products. It is important that PFI requires the beneficiary documents all necessary documentation in line with the project documents and ESMS.

82. At the observance of the rules of safety and sanitary-hygienic conditions, there will be no significant impact on the environment.

83. Additional funding has strengthened the impact of the existing project and further increased farm productivity, improved processing and storage capacity, and reduced post-harvest losses by upgrading and creating intensive gardens; modern and efficient greenhouses; and processing, storage, and cooling equipment. This, in turn, contributes to long-term economic and environmental sustainability and increased further farm productivity.

84. Greenhouses allow you to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables several times a year, regardless of the time of year and season. In greenhouses, the level of humidity and lighting is controlled, which allows you to harvest almost all year round.

85. Thus, compliance with the policies and procedures of the ESMS will lead to long-term of economic and environmental sustainability and increased profitability for farmers and agribusinesses.

86. The nature and scale of impact on the environment is insignificant and cannot lead the quality of the environment to negative changes.

5.2. Action plan for the next reporting period.

87. Compliance of the PFIs to project agreement covenants is monitored through periodic ADB review missions, quarterly progress reports by the PFIs, random spot checks of subloan documents, and review of the PFIs' audited financial statements. An environmental specialist hired by the PMO (based in UZAIFSA) will help monitor PFIs’ training and carry out monitoring site visits, also assist to PFIs in the implementation of ESMS, including the preparation of Annual Environmental and Social (ES) performance reports of the PFIs and ensure on-time completion of the annual report on ESMS. If necessary, will assist to PFIs and beneficiaries of environmental and social issues. See table 7 below.
