Background 1.1 Background In recent years, China has made significant progress in food safety, economic growth, poverty alleviation and production diversification, but this has relied mainly on highly intensive production with considerable fertilizer and pesticide inputs, and has lead to serious environmental problems. In order to solve these problems, the government, farmers and private enterprises must work together to realize a safe, sustainable and (climate) smart agricultural pattern, in which food safety, environmental sustainability and climate smartness are combined closely and complementary. According to the Outline of the Thirteenth Five-year Agricultural Development Plan of Hubei Province (HPG [2016] No.55), Hubei Province is to be built into a demonstration region of farm product quality and safety, a pioneering region of ecological and efficient agriculture, and a pilot region of “Internet+” modern agriculture and rural reform. This is largely consistent with the Bank’s project objectives, and fully aligned with the Rural Partnership Strategy (Report No.67566-CN) of the Bank for China (fiscal years 2013-2016), thereby giving rise to the Hubei Safe, Sustainable and Smart Agriculture Project (hereinafter, the “Project”). In the Project, agricultural risk assessment and management will be conducted, a communication system established, a safe, sustainable and smart production and processing standard developed, safe and sustainable agricultural practices extended, project and knowledge management conducted, and experience and lessons collected and shared to direct agricultural production to improve food safety and farm product quality, and promote sustainable and smart agricultural development under the leadership of the Hubei Provincial Government, and the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The Project involves 45 specialized farmers’ cooperatives (SFCs) in 11 counties / county-level cities / districts in Hubei Province, namely Honghu City, Jingshan City, Zhongxiang City, Duodao District in Jingmen City, Yiling District in Yichang City, Xian’an District in Xianing City, Xiaoan District in Xiaogan City, Tongshan County, Nanzhang County and Gong’an County. Since some SFCs under the Project have been involved in LA compensation for nearly two years (from January 1, 2017 to date), so a due diligence survey should be performed on them, which are Dafan Loquat SFC, Xingxiang Farm Product SFC and Yihong Early Tea SFC, in which Dafan Loquat SFC is included in this phase, and the other two are planned for
