Because CNFA's approach is focused on improving agricultural economies, its core capacities strengthen the key value chains that will best serve beneficiaries and clients. Because every environment is unique, CNFA adjusts its methodology to maximize impact. The foundation, however, remains the same:
Strengthening Market Linkages
Working within all levels of key value chains, CNFA builds and strengthens linkages among producers, processors and buyers, enabling producers to access new markets and increase their incomes. More.
Building Input Supply Networks
Because inputs like seed and fertilizer are essential to increasing productivity and quality, CNFA facilitates farmer access to input supply companies. The Agrodealer Model strengthens local input supply enterprises so they can become centers for not only input supply, but equipment purchase and rental, training and financing. More.
Promoting Enterprise Growth and Development
Through enterprise development grants, cooperative and association development, and business training, CNFA provides entrepreneurs with the tools they need to build their businesses and increase their profits. More.
Enabling Agribusiness Financing
By working to reduce the risks and transaction costs associated with rural lending, CNFA eases barriers to entry, support market diversity, promote innovation and facilitate feedback to policymakers. More.
Improving Processing & Post-Harvest Marketing
To extend the sales season and help farmers obtain optimum returns on their crops investments, CNFA's programs are designed to increase both productivity and crop quality and to build an efficient infrastructure for post-harvest handling, storage and marketing. More.
