Our project will produce a broad range of agricultural, economic, infrastructure and societal benefits for our fellow Tanzanians, including:
1. Training in modern farming methods and technology;
2. Increased access to modern inputs (seeds, nutrients, crop protection), tools and farming equipment;
3. Significantly increased crop production, resulting in enhanced food security, and the ability to increase local production of animal feed, cooking oil and protein-rich meats;
4. Increased access to modern food storage facilities, which will prevent waste and spoilage;
5. Creation of fair, open and transparent markets for local agricultural products and increased access to pricing and market information;
6. Increased access to micro-financing and other types of credit for small farmers and outgrowers;
7. Infrastructure development – roads, electricity, water;
8. Community development programs to provide funds for community centers, medical clinics, schools, water purification systems, power generation and other local infrastructure projects;
9. Increased income for small farmers, decreasing food costs for ordinary consumers, and improved health for children; and
10. Thousands of direct and indirect jobs for our fellow Tanzanians, and the development of ancillary local business.
