Under this partnership, Shalem Investment Ltd is expected to mobilise and train TOTs on climate smart agriculture, who will ultimately transfer the acquired skills and knowledge contracted smallholder farmers. Additionally, the business champion is expected to set up demonstration farms, and profile and link the TOTs and SHFs to service providers in areas of finance, insurance, inputs, mechanisation, transporters and offtakers.
The partnership between Quinam Investment Company Ltd (Quinum) and CRAFT aims to improve sorghum output of 4,500 smallholder farmers (SHFs) by 15% by 2022 through the promotion of appropriate climate smart agronomy.
