Agricultural Value Addition & Farmer Development

Certified Seeds
Improved varieties of maize, beans, cassava, groundnuts, coffee seedlings, and cocoa planting materials from certified suppliers.
Market Linkage
Direct supply agreements with schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and food processors. Weekly price bulletins via WhatsApp.
