Goats Value Chain
Improving the value chain of eggs is a strategic move that can improve the poultry industry,
stimulate local economies and ensure food security. The steps undertaken in two locations Inhassoro and Govuro - contribute to this enhancement.
▪ In Inhassoro, the process has begun with mobilising and finalisation of the regulatory process for the
designated construction spaces. The plans involve the construction of two aviaries, which commenced in July.
This project is particularly inclusive as the beneficiaries will participate in the construction process, fostering
a sense of ownership and commitment.
▪ In Govuro, the production of eggs started in May 2023 with the acquisition of 1 500 layer hens. Currently,
work includes training of the 44 beneficiaries on the management of the business as well as a registration
of a cooperative as the formal entity.
Pineapple Value Chain
▪ The pineapple value chain plays a pivotal role in the region’s agriculture and local economy. This value chain,
however, has been fraught with challenges, the most notable being the devastating impact of Cyclone Freddy,
which resulted in the destruction of the initial batch of clogs.
▪ Cyclone Freddy, with its ferocious winds and heavy rains, ravaged the area, laying waste to the initial planting
efforts. This catastrophe set back the project and had significant implications for the beneficiaries, who rely on
the successful cultivation of these crops for their livelihoods.
▪ Despite this calamity, the region has shown resilience. A new batch of clogs was delivered to the designated
pineapple farming beneficiaries, marking a significant step in recovery and restoration efforts. The
beneficiaries, displaying their unyielding spirit, have been actively engaged in replanting the clogs.
Horticulture Value Chain
▪ The LDAs include an element to empower small vegetable producers and enhance their market access through
strategic support contribution. We helped improve market-oriented production, diversification and enhanced
linkages for farmers in Vilankulo and Inhassoro, broadening the potential for accessing more formal markets.
▪ A total of 308 farmers (71,4% of whom were women) were trained using the Farmer Business School (FBS)
approach, improving their business development skills. Positive testimonials indicate that this initiative was
beneficial, and it’s anticipated to significantly increase the farmers’ incomes in the future.
