Greentalent Enterprises
Description
Greentalent Enterprises is a professional agri-business consulting and management firm based in Harare, Zimbabwe, that helps farm owners and investors to develop and execute agricultural and agro-industrial projects in horticulture, field crops, fruit trees, poultry, aquaculture, and other agricultural industries.
Market Opportunity/ Problem
Smallholder farmers manage about 70% of the farmland in Zimbabwe, and women comprise ~43% of the agricultural labor force of developing countries and up to 60% in Zimbabwe. Should women farmers have the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20-30%. Smallholder farmers are the drivers of many African economies, even though their potential is often not fully unlocked. Despite the high potential, Zimbabwe relies on South Africa to supply quality horticultural products at a premium price.
