Financing and scaling agricultural processing capacity to reduce post-harvest losses, improve farmer incomes and supply local markets with value-added products.
Project summary
Financing and scaling agricultural processing capacity to reduce post-harvest losses, improve farmer incomes and supply local markets with value-added products.
Commercial proposition
Significant volumes of produce are lost between farm and market. Mid-scale processing with secured offtake and aggregated outgrower supply can capture that value while creating a reliable market for smallholders.
Impact objective
Raise smallholder incomes through reliable offtake, reduce post-harvest losses and create processing jobs.
Evidence & results
Expected and achieved impact are shown separately. Projections are never presented as achieved outcomes.
