Project Purpose and Outcomes
The
outcomes of the project will be increased production and sale of
sunflower that is produced using climate smart inputs and services to
small holder farmers – men, women and youth – who are able to operate
their farms as businesses, guaranteed by secure market access through
producer groups who can negotiate better input and output deals for
their members. Inputs and extension and BDS will be provided by MSMEs
who have crowded into the marketplace for new business and who are
offering more employment opportunities. Small and medium processors will
increase sales of semi refined and double refined oil and improve
capacity utilization and be able to invest in business development.
Large, small and medium processors and smallholders will operate in an
inclusive sunflower market system. The project has eight interventions
areas, also regarded as system change areas in the context of the IB
Sunflower
Value Chain Development Project, which are:
- Women and Youth Inclusion
- Business Development Services
- Access to Finance
- Extension Services
- Climate Change Adaptation
- Market Information
- Access to Seeds and other Inputs
- Business Enabling Environment
With the overall target of reaching 21,335 SHFs,
the project developed three business cases that are critical for
facilitating the implementation of the above-mentioned intervention
areas. The business cases address provision of business development
services, capacitating AMCOS and PGs (make them business ready) and
introduction of gender track coaching solutions.
