COMMERCIAL FARMING AND RURLA DEVELOPMENT (cfrd).

The goal of the program is to empower rural farmers, both men and women, by providing them with improved market access and training in organic farming methods.

Underlying Principles

Enhancing Organic Farming Knowledge:

By providing training on organic farming methods, the program equips rural farmers with the necessary knowledge and skills to transition from conventional farming practices to sustainable and environmentally-friendly approaches. Farmers will learn about organic soil management, natural pest control, composting, and other techniques that promote soil health and preserve the ecosystem. This knowledge empowers farmers to adopt sustainable practices, reduce their reliance on synthetic inputs, and produce high-quality organic crops.

Facilitating Market Access:

Access to markets is a significant challenge for rural farmers, often resulting in limited opportunities to sell their produce at fair prices. The program addresses this issue by connecting farmers to appropriate market channels. By establishing partnerships with local markets, organic food stores, restaurants, and cooperatives, the program aims to create a reliable and transparent market for organic produce. This improves farmers' access to potential buyers, ensuring that they can sell their harvests at fair prices and receive a reasonable income for their efforts.

Effective Procurement Practices:

The program recognizes the importance of fair and transparent procurement processes in securing fair prices for farmers' produce. It emphasizes the establishment of procurement systems that prioritize transparency, traceability, and fair trade principles. This ensures that farmers are treated equitably in the market, eliminating exploitative practices and providing them with a sustainable source of income. The program will provide guidance and support to farmers in negotiating fair contracts, understanding market dynamics, and advocating for their rights within the supply chain.
