About the partnership

The key role of 2SCALE in this partnership, is the mainstreaming of rotation crops into the sesame farming systems. Due to the mono cropping practices of sesame, the yield is decreasing over time and diseases are also expanding. To combat the decline in soil fertility, 2SCALE is working to introduce better yielding sorghum varieties and linking the farmers with the market for rotational crops.
