Book (stand-alone)Strengthening agribusiness linkages with small-scale farmers
Case studies in Latin America and the Caribbean
2005Also available in:
This paper provides a synthesis of a study in Latin America that forms part of a major initiative within FAO called "Strengthening linkages between the farmer and agribusiness". This initiative stresses the search for alternatives in developing and strengthening just and efficient relationships between farms and agribusinesses. Agribusiness stakeholders may include all commercial firms involved in the production, distribution and processing of agricultural products, as well as firms offering ser vices, including extension, research and/or business administration. Building farmer- agribusiness linkages refers to improving farmers' capacities to add value to their products, converting their subsistence agriculture into commercial agriculture, through the processing of their products, and by establishing raw-material supply contracts with national and international processors and distributors. Strengthening also means improving the regular and timely supply of agricultural products needed by agribusiness enterprises, according to the specifications of the quality desired. -

No results found.Climate change threatens the food security and economic growth of the United Republic of Tanzania, with a real risk of decreasing the availability of water and growing uncertainty regarding ways of meeting the country’s agricultural needs. There is a need for large scale and effective on the ground actions to advance Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and achieve agricultural resilience in the country, which in turn requires the active leadership and strengthened capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to engage farmers, agricultural service providers, local government authorities, and other national and subnational institutions. In this context, in close collaboration with the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA), the project sought to build the capacity of developers and end users of agrometeorological information and advisory, with a focus on different agro ecological zones of the country. The aim was to build capacity, both within the Government and in national technical institutions, to achieve agricultural resilience and food security, in line with existing national agriculture development policies and programmes . While five main capacities were identified for building the knowledge and systems required to implement national priority actions and mainstream resilient agriculture in the country, the focus placed particular emphasis on “Capacity 5”, namely converting agrometeorological data and analysis into timely and actionable information available to farmers.
