Currently an estimated 60% of key commodities consumed in Africa are sourced from outside of the continent. \n\nSuccessfully sourcing from smallholder farmers means overcoming challenges which include undeveloped and fragmented value chains, technical capacity of farmers and processors, lack of adequate finance, and lack of public policy and infrastructure to support the sustainable supply of their requirements. Even in cases where anchor buyers, small traders and processors are able to overcome some of these challenges, they often lack access to financing and capital and management capabilities to grow their business sustainably.
