Support for small-scale agriculture enterprises and integration in value chains to increase food and nutrition security in Pakistan

About this project

The project aims to better integrate small-scale farmers in agriculture value chains (rice, livestock, fisheries) in district Thattha and Tharpakar to realize their true economic potential. Outcomes and activities are based on a value chain concept, tackling production system, market system and representation of small-scle farmers interest towards value chain actors, including private market players but also specifically the supporting value chain environment. Proposed activities contribute to organize and capacitate farmers to improve production and value addition as well as to be competitive value chain actors themselves and earn increased incomes. A 3-tier structure of Famers Enterprise Groups, Farmers Market Collectives and Value Chain Associations will be established through which farmers learn to shape their agri-enterprises, conduct value-adding enterprise activities collectively and lobby with other actors. The project thus reaches out to the value chains support service providers as well potential buyers to improve business as well as regulatory conditions for farmers. Both implementning partners of this intervention engage in capacity development to model this value chain concept and promote market-based interventions as part of the Food Systems approach.
