A new report by Info Sapiens reveals that corruption in the agricultural sector has fallen from 24% in 2021 to 14% in 2025, marking a significant improvement in the sector. The study, conducted by the research agency on behalf of the Agrarian and Rural Development Program, which is backed by the US Government, underscores the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures.
The data reflects the progress made in reducing corruption in micro, small, and medium agribusinesses over the past few years. This decline is attributed to various initiatives and regulatory changes aimed at transparency and fair practices. The findings suggest that the ongoing efforts to combat corruption have yielded tangible results, despite challenges in the sector.
Experts attribute the reduction in corruption to the implementation of stricter oversight mechanisms and enhanced accountability measures. However, the study also highlights the need for continued vigilance to sustain the progress and further reduce corruption levels. The report serves as a testament to the impact of targeted interventions in promoting integrity within the agricultural sector.
