description:

Outcome # 1 of the Project seeks to improve the income of farmers engaged by the Project. The Project, through its partnership with the Private sector, facilitated provision of a package of services to the OFC farmers. The material inputs such as seed, fertilizer and other agrochemicals were provided on loan to the beneficiary. Extension services were provided regularly by the company, and the harvest was bought by the company thereby ensuring a ‘commensurate’ price to the beneficiary. On occasion, the Project provided agricultural machinery to the farmer cooperative; this enabled the farmers to rent agricultural machinery for work in their fields at a cost less than the market rates for renting such machinery. This component enabled the member farmers to obtain this service, and prepare the lands in a timely manner.
