About the partnership

This partnership aims to link several thousand smallholder maize farmers to SOCIA, a leading processor that supplies white maize grits to the national brewery SOBEBRA; and to help introduce a traceability system. It links with the EKN-funded ACMA project and with government and parastatal agencies for inputs and extension services. Eight clusters are operational (Ifangni, Toffo, Borgou Djidja, Glazoué, Savalou, Agbagnizoun and Zogbodomey).
