Formalization Of Marketing Of Vegetables From Small Scale Farmers In Ndwedwe

This opportunity involves the establishment of a vegetable marketing channel linking small scale farmers to markets. The lack of good marketing infrastructure has a negative effect in the growth of this sub-sector. Community garden members are not organised for collective action which makes it difficult for them to access any market in a meaningful and sustainable manner. Experience has shown in other parts of African and Asia that the provision of a good and an easily accessible market leads to great improvement in the production of agricultural products. The opportunity involves the establishment of a middleman operation between the farmers and markets.
