We work with local and international partners to increase production, improve postharvest handling, add value, and develop markets and competitive value chains for the world's most vulnerable farmers, commercial farms and communities.
Through proven technologies and practices, we rapidly increase yields of commercial farms and smallholders to multiply incomes during the year. This income fuels local economies and drastically improves healthcare, education and overall quality of life for entire communities. We believe sustainable food security is inherently linked to income generation, so we train families, producer groups and local service providers to treat farming as a commercial enterprise.
Reflecting its practical and result-oriented approach the Consultancy is organised according to product sub-sectors. Projects and services are managed under the responsibility of their own project managers and backstopping staff. Engineering, procurement, economic analysis and implementation of management information systems is also carried out under responsibility of the assigned project manager. The Consultancy's professional staff has extensive knowledge of the latest field technologies to strengthen every link in the farm-to-market-to-table chain. They include experts in agronomy, soil science, agro-processing technology, agricultural economy and policy, farm and agro-business management, accountancy, agricultural and mechanical engineering and information technology, irrigation / drainage, animal production and animal health, experts in climate change and natural resource management and market development and logistics specialists. In addition to technical and logistics support, we offer guidance in investment strategies, business and financial planning, certification options, and contract negotiations.
