Smallholder farmers are the key to food security in Africa. Not only do they hold large swaths of arable land, but they also constitute about 70% of the workforce on the continent. However, they are bedevilled by a myriad of challenges ranging from low yields, post-harvest losses, lack of finance, low mechanization and poor access to markets.
One of the most challenging factors facing smallholder farmers in Africa is the issue of post-harvest losses, which is caused by the decrepit state of infrastructure as well as the non existence of storage facilities. Farmers are forced to sell off produce at ridiculously low prices to middlemen in order to avoid Post harvest losses.
Guaranteed market access is the most vital part of the triangle of profitable success for smallholder farmers. At Kyrenia's Farm, we provide reliable access to local and global markets for smallholder farmers. We buy up all our smallholder's produce and add value, thereby giving them a guaranteed income and greater potential for profit.
