The main objective of this study is to identify the characteristics, causes, and circumstances of informality in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and aquaculture sectors, facilitating the design and implementation of sector-specific and crosscutting approaches for transitioning the economic units and workers involved to the formal economy. More specifically, the study will: quantify the extent, nature, and composition of informality within the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and aquaculture sectors based on available data that is complemented by a short survey; identify main drivers and incentives for formalisation, highlighting sector-specific and transversal drivers; identify main actors involved in formalisation process in the sector and coordination mechanisms, if any; identify and assess current policy approach, specific programmes and measures and where possible their impact on facilitating the transition to formality for informal economic units and workers (especially women) in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and aquaculture sectors.
