Private Extension

 

Extension and Advisory Services

Approximately 1.5 billion people are engaged in smallholder agriculture across the world. They include 75% of the world’s poorest people whose food, income, and livelihood prospects depend on agriculture. Growing populations, urbanization, and improved communications and infrastructure are generating opportunities in expanding domestic and export markets for farmers who can consistently link high production with sales.

Despite their important role as food producers, their commercial prospects for remain a challenge. Key issues include finding better means of coordinating and sustaining services, and implementing policies that build the capabilities of farmers to raise incomes by linking to various types of markets.

Extension systems, consulting and advisory services, and training programs have the potential of helping various farmer types to improve their production and market linkages despite having different needs and capabilities.
We provide technical advisory at varying points to ensure the farmer gets the right quantity and quality of inputs at the right time, at the right price, applied at the right time and in the right way.

Land preparation, input distribution, ploughing, tractor services, harvesting, processing, storage and marketing. We support farmers to implement strategies for continuous improvement on-farm to achieve sustainability and productivity goals.
