The first thing we must know is why this projects delays ? It's because internal factors ? Or external factors ? Also we must find solution using time line and the purpose. Then we can communicate the stakeholders, make a meeting and get a solution together.

Communicate proactively with stakeholders, provide clear updates on delays, and outline solutions. Adjust timelines realistically, optimize resources, and explore alternative strategies to mitigate setbacks. Maintain transparency, manage expectations, and demonstrate adaptability to keep trust intact.

Usually, a delay in agribiz project means missed opportunity as farming is linked to seasons and windows within that to execute plans. If that window is missed, wait can be a year or a quarter or two depending on the crop. Anticipate as many reasons why you may miss the window, then follow through with similar set of exhaustive questions through crop cycle. After all this, if one failed, you will know what you missed to ask and add it for future planning. Encourage team members to disagree with your plan but with reasons, rather than nodding their head and come back with issues later. This can help spot your future leaders. Never give up is one rule that applies strongly in agribiz, every day comes with new learning.

Goodnight. It depends on the country where the project is being implemented! In Angola. It is necessary to implement contingency plans: have alternative backup solutions ready to mitigate the impact of delays in the supply of materials. But it is extremely important to have transparent communication: regularly updating stakeholders on progress and setbacks to build trust in project implementation. Best regards. Fernando Lopes
