Why development partners should increase support for sustainable food systems

What you need to know:

Making collective agricultural transformation work is not an easy task and requires concerted efforts from diverse actors in the sector.

Business development services are about imparting knowledge that becomes a power for the partakers. After we made the new agro-dealers understand the agri-business's potential and how supporting/ advising smallholder farmers would lead to more incomes for them and farmers, we saw increased productivity across the villages involved. With Agra's support, RUCODIA has shown how critical agro dealership is as an interphase between the input and output market on disseminating agriculture technologies. We trained retail and hub-agro dealers on business management, stock management, and managerial skills. We also had regulatory institutions such as Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI), Tanzania Official Seed Certification (TOSCI), and Tanzania Fertilizer Regulatory Authority (TFRA), among others, onboard. The institutions were able to come and show them how to get necessary business permits as per the requirements of the law and procedures.
