Our project with Opportunity International supported by the Agriculture Transformation Initiative program which aims to diversify tobacco-dependent economies. Our technology-enhanced finance and training extension addresses capital and resource barriers, access and training for alternative value chains, development of business plans, and gender challenges for women smallholder farmers.
To stimulate supply and demand for farmers working with alternative crops, the initiative offers access to capital ( through ) for farmers to expand their businesses, along with the technology and training required to increase production and profits. Key project components include the development and delivery of a range of financial products tailored for farmers, crop-specific training to maximize end-market opportunities, innovative video training on best agricultural practices, and financial literacy training... more to come on the progress of the project which began late 2019 for the 2019/2020 summer rain season.
