on information gathered from reliable and traceable sources. The report may start
with overview of the sector explaining its importance for the local/regional/national
economy. It can be based on the development of the industry/sector in historical
context. Past 30 years data may be good enough for this.

i- Identify the ups and downs/trends in the in the production activities of the
sector,
ii- Explain the value chain and players therein, also discuss their roles,
iii- Identify major initiatives so far taken by local/provincial/federal government
for the development of the sector, and assess them.

government can take to help develop the industry/sector.

information for their reports. The report is to be submitted in PDF or Word formats.
Each student will also be giving a presentation of about 10 minutes based on the
