Improving road transport networks, land and financial sector reforms and investing in agricultural research will help increase productivity and the ability of smallholder farmers in the Pacific and Timor-Leste to grow more commercial crops. Developing niche markets for products where countries have a natural advantage will increase the incomes of farmers. Opportunities for trade can be increased by improvements in the business environment for exporters and by the development of trade-related infrastructure and institutions such as customs, ports and roads.
