Definition & calculation
Count each distinct producer-buyer linkage or supply agreement that was formally facilitated and documented during the reporting period.
Means of verification
Signed supply agreements or MoUs; market linkage facilitation records
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Monthly or quarterly
Guidance & common pitfalls
Count only newly facilitated and documented linkages rather than informal introductions; a single linkage may serve many producers, so pair this with a producer-reach measure.
