The Global Food Safety Team is in discussions with Twiga for a potential advisory project funded by the
Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). The Team proposes to support Twiga in designing a
Twiga Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Brand which will enable the farmers that Twiga works with to
increase farming yields through improved agricultural practices, which will lead to positive demonstration
effects for other domestic players as well. This project will initially be run as a pilot involving 30 banana
farmers who will undergo baseline assessments, training and mentoring before rolling out to other farmer
groups. Other potential services that will be offered include: building in-house capacity to assess farmers and
implement a Quality Management System, implementation of a food safety management system and training
and coaching of Twiga Agronomists.
