Step 1: Identify the Challenge

We work with farmers and local communities to remove the remnants of war, then identify the agricultural challenges hindering the ability of client beneficiaries to achieve maximum income potential.

Step 2: Design Interventions aimed at improving quality and production

This may involve introducing grape farmers to trellising, which more than doubles output, or replacing low-value cereal crops with high-value fruits and nuts. We also train farmers in the latest agricultural techniques and provide machinery grants so that exporters can transition to high-volume processing.

Step 3: Increase exports to high-paying markets

We make sure exporters have the tools and training to meet the demands of discerning overseas markets, then link them with buyers in those markets, thereby generating greater revenue for exporters and the farmers they serve.
