Problem Statement

Tanzania’s agricultural sector faces significant challenges that hinder its productivity and profitability, especially for smallholder farmers. Key issues include: • Market Access: Many small-scale farmers struggle to access lucrative markets due to lack of infrastructure, inadequate knowledge of market requirements, and absence of reliable transport systems (Tanzania Agricultural Development Bank, 2020). • Post-Harvest Losses: A significant portion of fresh produce is lost post-harvest due to inadequate storage facilities, poor handling practices, and inefficient distribution channels . • Resource Management: Limited access to quality seeds, fertilizers, and water for irrigation reduces the potential yields of crops. Additionally, farmers often lack training in sustainable farming practices

Solution Statement

Market Access Green Harvest Ltd. addresses market access issues by creating robust supply chains that link farmers directly with both local and international buyers. The company negotiates contracts with supermarkets, restaurants, and export markets to ensure consistent demand for their produce. Moreover, Green Harvest Ltd. operates an online marketplace where consumers can order fresh produce directly from the farm, facilitating efficient farm-to-table delivery. Post-Harvest Handling and Loss Reduction To minimize post-harvest losses, Green Harvest Ltd. has invested in modern storage facilities and training programs for farmers on proper handling techniques. The company uses refrigerated transportation to maintain the freshness of produce during distribution. Additionally, Green Harvest Ltd. provides packaging solutions that extend the shelf life of vegetables and fruits, ensuring that more of the harvested produce reaches the market in sellable condition. Resource Management and Training Green Harvest Ltd. supports farmers by providing access to high-quality seeds and fertilizers at subsidized rates. The company also offers training sessions on efficient irrigation practices and sustainable farming techniques. By promoting the use of drip irrigation and organic fertilizers, Green Harvest Ltd. helps farmers optimize their resource use and enhance their crop yields.
