Partnering for Success
Community Agribusiness Partners works alongside farmers, governments, the private sector, and local NGOs to strengthen the agribusiness environment for farming communities.
Africa Improved Foods (AIF)
Since 2017, Africa Improved Foods (AIF) has sourced approximately six million pounds of high-quality soybeans from farmers in Malawi. The soybeans are processed into a nutritious food that is purchased by the World Food Programme and distributed to malnourished women and children. Farmers in partnership with CAP have the capacity to produce a high-quality product in large quantities supports AIF’s ability to purchase from smallholder farmers while sustaining and growing the local economy.
Tanzania Official Seed Certification Institute (TOSCI)
The Tanzania Official Seed Certification Institute (TOSCI) partners with CAP in Tanzania to train and certify hub farmers on the multiplication of Quality Declared Seeds. Once the hub farmers are certified by TOSCI, they are then able to bring new economic opportunities to their communities through the production of Quality Declared Seeds as a business. Under these conditions, accessing improved seeds can lead to higher yields, better quality crops, and increased incomes for farming communities.
Nabulenje Farmer Marketing Cooperative
The Nabulenje Farmer Marketing Cooperative (FMC) is one of 46 cooperatives that CAP has helped to form in Malawi. Group formation, especially legally recognized registration, is an essential part of our work. Formalized groups can better access markets, finance, and other services because of their legal recognition as well as economies of scale.
Standard Bank partners with CAP in Malawi to support financial literacy training and financial inclusion of farming communities. Standard Bank trains cooperatives and extends purchasing loans to cooperatives growing soybean and selling into structured markets.
