EDP – Enterprise Development Programme

EDP – Enterprise Development Programme

(A Collaborative Framework for Sustainable Advanced Agricultural Development)

 

Project Summary:

The Enterprise Development Programme (EDP) is a strategic initiative launched by BDKrishi to foster innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector. Under this programme, individual or organizational innovators will collaborate with BDKrishi on an ownership-based model to implement Advanced Agricultural Projects aimed at transforming traditional farming practices into modern, productive, and sustainable systems.


Project Purpose:

To establish a collaborative platform where agricultural innovators can implement, scale, and own their projects in partnership with BDKrishi—ensuring mutual growth, shared risk, and a long-term impact on sustainable agricultural development.


Implementation Model:

  • Innovators will propose and lead their Advanced Agricultural Projects, with technical and strategic support from BDKrishi.
  • The project will operate under the guidance of a High-Level Committee, ensuring strategic alignment, transparency, and accountability throughout the implementation process.
  • All project details—including scope, execution plan, and operational strategy—must be presented in a comprehensive execution proposal submitted by the innovator.


Partnership Structure:

  • The ownership of the project will be jointly held by the innovator and BDKrishi.
  • BDKrishi will serve as a strategic partner, offering platform access, technical guidance, infrastructure support, and market linkage.
  • Revenue and losses generated from the project will be shared among collaborators based on a mutual agreement or a proposal from the innovator, defined in the contractual terms.
  • A legally binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between the innovator and BDKrishi, clearly outlining all terms and conditions of the collaboration.


Key Components of the MoU:

  • Execution Plan – Detailed scope, timeline, milestones, and performance indicators.
  • Roles & Responsibilities – Clearly defined contributions, obligations, and ownership rights of each party.
  • Governance Structure – Strategic oversight and monitoring by the High-Level Committee.
  • Financial Terms – Investment responsibilities, revenue-sharing models, and loss absorption mechanisms.
  • Sustainability Focus – Integration of environmental, social, and economic sustainability principles into the project design.
  • Intellectual Property – Ownership and usage rights of innovations and outputs.
  • Risk Management & Dispute Resolution – Mechanisms to address conflicts, risks, and project exit strategies.


Expected Impact:

  • Acceleration of agricultural innovation, driven by entrepreneurial and locally relevant models.
  • Empowerment of innovators through ownership, decision-making, and revenue participation.
  • Development of scalable, sustainable agri-enterprises, aligned with national food security and rural development agendas.
  • Reinforcement of BDKrishi’s role as a national enabler of agri-innovation, entrepreneurship, and enterprise growth.
