Complementing the aggregation strategy is the Out-Grower Business Model, which establishes direct linkages between farmers and key actors within the agricultural value chain. These actors include processors, off-takers, input suppliers, and various supporting institutions.
Contract farming agreements form the basis of this model, ensuring a structured relationship and mutual benefits for all involved parties. Furthermore, to enhance farmer organization and market access, farmers are grouped into producer clusters. This clustering strengthens their collective voice in the market and improves their overall market integration.
The program's sustainability is also addressed through the development of structured and formalized produce and livestock markets, which generate revenue to support ongoing operations and future investments within the agricultural sector.
