About Us - Overview
The overall project objective is to improve the competitiveness of smallholder farmers and the agribusiness sector in selected commodity value chains in 25 districts supported by the project. This will be achieved by:
  1. helping farmer groups and cooperatives engage in profitable market-oriented production and improved access to markets through the provision of technology and information services and critical public infrastructure and linkages to agribusiness;
  2. creating and strengthening industry-wide partnerships along the value chain, thus forging linkages between producers, traders, processors, and other stakeholders and;
  3. reducing existing obstacles to agriculture and food trade thereby increasing the ability of farmers and agribusiness to respond to Sanitary and Phytosanitory (SPS) measures and food-quality standards to meet domestic and international market requirements.
