We actively promote agricultural programs aimed at economically and socially empowering smallholder farmers. Our interventions focus on improving farming practices, enhancing market access, and strengthening farmers’ organisational and business skills.

• Facilitate agricultural commercialisation by providing technical guidance and market support to farmer groups, enhancing productivity and market opportunities.
• Improve business management, marketing, financial literacy, and administrative capacities among farming cooperatives.
• Foster collective marketing strategies linking farmers to reliable local, regional, and international markets, ensuring fair economic returns and promoting sustainability through fair trade.
• Facilitate direct contracting and market linkages between farmers and institutional buyers (schools, hospitals, hotels, supermarkets, etc.) for improved income stability.
• Promote knowledge sharing and market information access through mobile technology, radio, and television.
• Enhance farmers’ access to financial services, credit, and agricultural insurance.

In the recent years, we have served as fund managers for a targeted capacity-building program supporting saccos and co-operatives in emerging sectors such as rice, dairy, cotton, poultry, Irish potatoes, and pyrethrum.

This initiative is delivered in collaboration with Co-op Consultancy, the lead implementers. With their expertise, they work together with the leaders of the saccos and co-operatives to identify and then address the specific needs of each enterprise.
