Challenge fundsFrom Farm to Market
Sub-Saharan Africa has a quarter of the world's arable land but produces just 10% of the world's agricultural output.
Self Help Africa is committed to supporting Africa’s smallholder farming families to increase the quantity and the quality of food that they produce on their small farms. In a region with an estimated 33 million farms of average size of just two acres, we support small-scale farmers to increase their yields and diversify what they grow.
Africa’s agricultural transformation needs much more than that, however. A multi-track approach must support the creation of profitable markets and removes obstacles to trade. This will enable Africa’s small-scale farmers to earn more from their work and is vital if agriculture is to be a driver of economic growth and a key instrument to end extreme poverty.
Self Help Africa and our social enterprise subsidiaries – TruTrade and Partner Africa - are focused on developing opportunities and breaking down the barriers to progress faced by millions of farming families.
