Innovation & Training

Research

We carry out all kinds of agricultural research activities across entire value chains.
Our goal is to re-invent innovation into research on development issues and market research. Our approach is what drives clients to seek us out when traditional methodologies have failed them, to facilitate change within sectors and organizations, both small and large, and to turn true understanding of issues or problems into business opportunities.

We focus on understanding your business needs so we can provide the right solutions and expertise to uncover insights needed to make impactful decisions that will drive growth. Our clients are not just numbers on a spreadsheet but real people who we engage with on regular basis, collecting feedback that grows meaningful relationships overtime. We also offer access to a global network of expert researchers, sample providers, in-depth analysis, and other research services. We provide full-service research solutions by partnering with our network of expert providers. We are always available to ensure your research objectives are met with success.

Innovation

Innovation is the process of turning opportunity into new ideas and putting these into widely used practice so that value is created. Innovations are required to leverage the opportunities present in low-income markets and to create environmental, social and economic impact.
Disruptions brought about by innovations present challenges to stakeholders in agricultural value chains as well as opportunities to participate in new markets. Using frameworks (structure, functions and relationships), we help in the effective adoption of innovation systems by farmers to enhance their decision-making process, increase their overall operational efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability.
Agripreneurs Africa works with its clients and partners to jointly develop, fund and implement customized innovation solutions to achieve the planned objectives. This relates not only to products, services and technologies, but also to business processes, distribution channels, partnership networks and organization models.
