Agri-Inputs Markets

  • Limited access to quality seeds and other inputs; smallholders not targeted as a market
  • Input sector governance and regulation not adequately addressing counterfeits

Agri-Outputs Markets

  • Low quality products at aggregation and processing limiting access to higher value markets
  • Weak relationships between buyers and farmers that are short term and offer farmers limited services

Lower Incomes for participants in the agricultural market
