Farmer Vendor Engagement for agricultural produce.
Kampala, Busega Market: Engaging of farmers and vendors at agricultural markets has been key in understanding the agribusiness challenges that market vendors face and how to overcome such challenges. Wilmat Development Foundation and Smart Youth Network Initiative conducted a “Community Resilience Programme” (CRP) with emphasis on information dissemination on workable Approaches for proper pre & post-harvest handling of agricultural outputs and inputs, market access and proper handling of agricultural farm inputs.
This training targeted Market Vendors, Farm product leaders and small-scale transporters of agricultural produce to and from the farming villages to the nearby markets in building the capacity of business women and Youth agri-preneurs in contributing to the development of their communities through Farmer Field Schools Approaches.
