About the partnership

Nigeria
Fresh Produce
Status:
Active

The partnership between VD&S, Royal Blue Contractors and 2SCALE aims to strengthen the supply of quality inputs with a focus on seeds, agrochemicals, and farm equipment. Enhancing access to improved seeds by smallholder farmers will significantly increase yield. 

Another aspect of this business idea is to develop and strengthen sustainable access to markets for farmers' produce. The partnership aims to achieve this by targeting buyers in informal and formal vegetable markets, either to be traded or consumed as produce or intended for further processing or preservation.

About the Business Champions
