03 / A GOOD STARTING POINTWhat a useful
What a useful
first brief contains.
This hypothetical example shows a clear structure. It is not a real IAG project or a verified proposal.
EXAMPLE ONLY / NO LIVE ENGAGEMENT
An agricultural distribution enquiry.
A professional briefing should help the recipient understand the country, the crop system, the intended relationship and the unresolved questions.
Read the six-question briefing guide ↗- 01 / COUNTRY & CROP
- Identify a specific country and crop, without assuming a regional rollout.
- 02 / PROPOSED NEED
- Describe the input, advisory or distribution issue using available evidence.
- 03 / RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
- Set out the organisation, relevant authorisations and proposed roles.
- 04 / NEXT DECISION
- Request a scoping conversation or document review—not an assumed commitment.
04 / MAKING IAG ENQUIRIES USEFULPrepare the right
Prepare the right
questions for IAG.
A useful brief should explain how a proposal relates to IAG's actual agricultural capabilities, the specific West African market and the local execution requirements.
IAG's published platform covers agri-inputs, agronomy, decision support and distribution. Specific West African engagements require country-level verification and group approval.

03 / DELIVERY
Who is involved?
Describe counterpart roles, market authorisations, local partners and practical logistics.
04 / OUTCOME
What is the objective?
Make the intended commercial or agricultural outcome specific without promising unverified results.
