The Agbeli Initiative and Beyond
- Women’s Empowerment at Scale
- The Agbeli Initiative equips women farmers with practical agronomic knowledge, financial literacy, and market-facing skills. As a result, cooperatives have reported yield increases of up to 30% after one season, along with stronger participation in household decision-making.
- Key Outcome: Higher incomes, greater community influence, and a significant reduction in gender disparity within local agriculture.
- Community Prosperity & Resilience
- Fair pricing and stable offtake agreements give out-growers a security net against fluctuating market conditions. This translates into improved education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods.
- Key Outcome: Strengthened rural economies and a more reliable supply chain for all stakeholders.
- Environmental Responsibility
- We recycle cassava peels into animal feed or organic fertilizers, minimizing waste and promoting circularity.
- Our broader sustainability roadmap focuses on resource conservation, low emissions, and eventually leveraging renewable energy sources where feasible.
