Profit Making for Smallholder Farmers
Participants in the workshop shared experiences from nine projects in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. All projects had a common objective: to add value to an agricultural product and link smallholder farmers to profitable markets in a lasting way. The commodities included bulb onions in Kenya and Tanzania; fresh fruits in Kenya; cashew nuts, oyster mushrooms, and local poultry in Tanzania; upland rice, yam, lemon and citronella grass, and garlic in Uganda.
