Project Description

The primary goal of the Ugandan Grain Development Project is to create a sustainable business model for 6,000 smallholder farmers to get access to knowledge, inputs and a market for their maize production, and thus maximize both quality and volume currently being supplied to Agilis over three years. The UGDP’s objectives are four-fold; 1. Enable smallholders to expand maize production, increase quality, and access pre-financing to buy quality inputs while providing a ready market for their maize. 2. Provide farmers with an organized digital marketplace where they can sell agricultural produce and buy quality inputs. 3. Improve and streamline processes in Agilis’ commercial farm to accelerate growth and expand production of maize, soybean, and sunflower. 4. Advise Agilis on IFC's Performance Standard 5 on Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement.
