Agricultural Value Chain Integration Programme
National Agricultural Authority · East Africa · 20 months
A national agricultural authority integrated its value chains, reducing post-harvest losses by 66% and connecting 45,000 smallholder farmers to formal markets through cooperative aggregation.
El Desafío
The national agricultural sector suffered from 35% post-harvest losses, fragmented value chains with minimal aggregation infrastructure, and a governance model that left smallholder farmers disconnected from markets. The systemic pressure was compounded by absent cold chain infrastructure and limited access to agricultural finance.
El Enfoque
Highpro deployed its Systemic and Strategic transformation programmes across the agricultural authority's leadership and cooperative federation executives. The diagnostic identified root causes in fragmented value chains, absent post-harvest infrastructure, and a governance model that prevented smallholder aggregation. The engagement designed an integrated value chain operating model, established cooperative aggregation frameworks, and engineered a cold chain deployment strategy.
El Resultado
Post-harvest losses reduced from 35% to 12% in targeted value chains. Smallholder aggregation increased by 280%, connecting 45,000 farmers to formal markets. The cold chain deployment covered 60% of perishable goods within 18 months, and agricultural finance access improved by 150% through cooperative-based risk-transfer instruments.
