This report covers InovAgro's Phase III accomplishments (Oct. 2019 - Sept. 2020).
InovAgro works in northern Mozambique and is designed to engage with lead firms as supporting drivers of smallholders’ agricultural and income growth, strengthening the enabling environment for smallholder agricultural development.
COVID-19 affected project operations and targets from March 2020. However, InovAgro's work building more dynamic and resiliet market systems helped firms to adapt their strategies and continue to serve smallholder farmers.
Intervention description
Key activities included partnering with six seed companies such as Pannar, SeedCo and K2 to promote certified seed sales and improve input distribution networks. The project worked with Commodity Aggregator Traders to establish and manage 433 buying points for agricultural produce, improving market access for SHFs. The project also facilitated access to finance by promoting innovative financial products such as the Fundo Agricola (FA) and BancABC's agency banking model.
