AKIS in action: Can AKIS interventions help farmers improve their income through direct marketing?
Description
Farmers often capture only a small portion of the value created in agricultural supply chains due to market structures that disadvantage small producers and the highly fragmented nature of agriculture. To address these challenges, this event highlights how AKIS's targeted advisory services and networking initiatives can empower farmers to develop strategies that increase income and strengthen their position in regional markets.
The goal is to equip farmers with the knowledge necessary for effective direct marketing, supported by peer learning and the development of cooperatives.
