I am happy to share the first issue of SAA\u2019s newsletter for 2023, focusing on Market-Oriented Agriculture (MOA). Some might associate MOA with only large-scale farming; however, it is an important aspect for smallholder farmers, as farming is a creative business that requires constant decision-making. MOA helps improve incomes and livelihoods, regardless of one\u2019s plot size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For over 35 years, SAA has worked with millions of smallholder farmers, and among them, the successful entrepreneurs have a mindset to \u201cproduce to sell\u201d, rather than \u201cproduce and sell\u201d. They\u2019re always mindful of which varieties of crops to grow, where to plant them, and what fertilizers to apply. Further, the farmers are sensitive to market trends. These maximize the gain from their limited land and financial resources. SAA has been striving to create this mindset through the promotion and adoption of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jica.go.jp\/english\/our_work\/thematic_issues\/agricultural\/shep\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SHEP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment &amp; Promotion<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAA builds the capacity of farmer-based organizations (FBOs) focusing on business planning, organizational management, and leadership. One successful approach promoted by SAA in this regard is the One-Stop Center Associations (OSCAs) in Uganda. OSCAs are FBOs engaged in a range of activities for example, crop and horticulture production, management of agro-input shops and commodity, provision of extension services, investment, grain marketing, and storage.\u00a0 As a result, some OSCAs have reached the level of exporting produce to neighboring countries, accumulating capital and contributing to local job creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These initiatives are just some examples of SAA\u2019s MOA initiatives across the program countries, which we are excited to share with you

system in Ethiopia encourages a Market-Oriented extension approach and transforms farming from subsistence to business. In alignment with this, one of SAA\u2019s strategic pillars is Market-Oriented Agriculture (MOA) which empowers smallholder farmers to shift their mindset from \u201cgrow and sell\u201d to \u201cgrow to sell\u201d. SAA takes into consideration the economic opportunities and unique market characteristics that exist in different agro-economic climates. This enables farmers to take advantage of opportunities created by new technologies and improved agronomic practices in crop production, postharvest management, and market information system. This ensures the farmers have a better market for their commodities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smallholder farmers, engaged in seed production and marketing, agro dealership, saving and credit association, and commodity marketing businesses, have been capacitated with technical knowledge and skill enhancement trainings, working capital, and market linkage and market information systems. So far, 1,061 (386 women) farmers\/entrepreneurs and 63 (13 women) Extension Agents (EAs) have benefited from different SAA capacity development schemes. SAA created market linkage for two Community-Based Seed Multiplication (CSBM) groups established in Angacha district. The groups consisted of 103 (21 women) members with the aim of multiplying improved wheat seeds.

Association (SAA), under the Market-Oriented Agriculture pillar, equips smallholder farmers and extension agents with business and entrepreneurship skills to raise their income by sustainably increasing productivity in response to market demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the beginning of the year, 2022, with funding from The Nippon Foundation (TNF), SAA-Uganda conducted a farmer-led market survey. 96 (41 women) farmers and 72 (22 women) Extension Agents (EA) took part in the survey to inform production capacity. Several produce buyers in the Northern and Western parts of the country were visited during the process.\u00a0 This was subsequently followed by training of 7,308 farmers trained on, Gross Margin Analysis (GMA), enterprise budgeting to ensure the right enterprises with high profit margins are selected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the onset of the season (March to April) with funding from TNF and WFP, SAA conducted training for 63 (27 women) agro-input dealers and Community Association Traders\/Trainers. The training focused on safe use of agro-chemicals, business planning and management. The training increased the number of skilled input dealers and shops to enable farmers easy access to quality inputs. As a result, 21 new agro-input shops have been opened and 16 agro-input businesses formally registered. This was done in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries (MAAIF), Makerere University and District local government leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Midseason (June-July) ToTs were conducted for 130 (50 women) EAs, focusing on agricultural marketing skills and market dynamics. The competent trainers equipped 3,118 (1,417 women) farmers with skills in establishment and management of credit and savings for investment in agriculture (CSIA) groups. This has enabled farmers to save $183,323 to improve access to finances, expand production and meet basic needs at household level.\u00a0The farmers were also linked to formal financial institutions and were able to access $69,234 for reinvestment in agribusiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Partnerships have been key for sustaining SAA\u2019s interventions, a total of 180 (79 women) leaders from 7 farmer organizations were trained on basic concepts of partnership formulation, management and, setting production targets to improve farm business planning and management for collective action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Africa has been well-known as one of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing regions with the youngest population, economic development and employment creation are not happening at the same rate at of population growth, especially in the rural area. In 2022, SAA skilled 195<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">youth entrepreneurs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> through the Youth Business Clinics (YBC). Young agri-preneurs were trained and 222 agribusinesses were awarded grants worth $6,486 for expansion. YBCs offered practical business management courses, aimed at igniting entrepreneurship in the mentees, creating jobs and shaping their business dreams into reality. Among the identified business ideas were input dealers, produce bulking and marketing, horticulture production, piggery, poultry, Apiary, goat rearing and bakery among others.

style=\"font-weight: 400\">In December 2019 the Misrak Agro dealers&#8217; group was organized under the IMPACT project in the Amhara Region&#8217;s Bure Zuria district. Starting with three members, the group has grown to five (three women) members with the goal of promoting improved post-harvest technologies and creating jobs for the youth, whose educational background ranges from 10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> grade to BSc degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bure Zuria district is an area with high potential for maize production, however limited access to post-harvest technologies. Farmers in the district used to shell their maize manually and hire tedious and time-consuming labor that resulted in post-harvest losses and lower grain quality. As part of its post-harvest technology promotion, SAA under the IMPACT project provided a maize sheller with a cart to the group.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group began a maize shelling service provision for 85 farmers in the surrounding communities, shelling about 232.7 MT of maize in one kebele, earning USD1,466. The youth group earned a gross profit of USD1,140 in one season alone, which is about 47% of the cost of the machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As shelling service is a seasonal activity, Misrak agro-dealers expanded their income by engaging in agro-dealership, through a seed money facilitated by the IMPACT project. Meeting Trade Bureau requirements, the group established an agro-inputs shop and began supplying a variety of agrochemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2021, the group earned nearly USD2,000 as gross profit from a one-season shelling service and one month&#8217;s sales of agrochemicals. Aside from the profit, they demonstrated maize shelling technology to 390 farmers to raise awareness on the benefit of improved technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encouraged by the income from the two businesses and the satisfaction derived from the services that support communities, the group is looking into more diverse economic opportunities, such as woodwork and crop production by renting farmland. They are also saving their earnings for larger goals of high-value service provision, such as purchasing tractors for plowing and loading, and other large-scale investment activities. <\/span><i><span

an area considered the rice hub of the state due to the enormous resources endowed with rice cultivating, processing, and other value chain activities by smallholder farmers. However, the farmers need access to improved seeds to maximize their yield.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saa-safe.org\/news\/news.php?nt=1&amp;vid=190&amp;lng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kano state Agropastoral development project (KSADP)<\/a> funded by the Islamic Development Bank, SAA-Nigeria promoted Community-based Seed Multiplication (CBSM) model during the 2022 wet farming season. The model enhanced the community\u2019s access to improved quality seeds, which are early maturing and resistant to pests and diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the beneficiaries, a host farmer of the CSBM, Alhaji Babangida Kura, said,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cI was happy to get the quality seeds and inputs from Sasakawa. In my community, we usually plant old seeds with low yields, requiring longer maturity period, and are highly susceptible to pest and disease attack.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After receiving several training modules on improved planting methods, fertilizer application, and pest and disease control, Kura almost doubled rice production, which is 7.8 Mt\/ha, against the 4.0 Mt using conventional farmer practices.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benefiting from the market linkages facilitated by SAA, Kura sold 6.0 Mt of the seeds to Premier seeds company at 1,450,000 (USD 3,500). He used the proceeds to buy a plot of land for his farming activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kura said he is now a registered seed grower with the Premier seeds company and is looking forward to helping farmers in his community to access quality seed varieties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CBSM system, supervised by the National Seed Council (NSC) for quality control, ensures that farmers have sustainable timely access to quality seeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

lack of income for school fees.\u00a0Being a resourceful man, staying unemployed was not an option. Inspired by his parents who had a backyard garden for their livelihood, Peter started growing tomatoes, cabbage, and okra and has become a successful entrepreneur and model in his community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In September 2021, Peter\u2019s farmers\u2019 group called Ama Ebeku, with 20 members (6 women), was selected as a beneficiary of the Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP). The project is implemented by SAA-Uganda in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and funded by the Government of Japan. The programme promotes Market-Oriented Horticulture farming in refugee-hosting sub-counties of Adjumani district. Under the project, a market survey is conducted ahead of the season to help farmers identify marketable produce to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI was equipped with good agronomical practices, such as proper site and quality seed selection, timely land preparation and proper planting, timely weeding, pest and disease management, line planting, right seed rate, and farming as a business among others,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Peter said. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis year<\/span><\/i><b><i>, <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I planted 40 gms of Asilla FI and 100 gms Rio- grande tomato varieties in January 2022 on 2 acres of land using the skills I acquired; and for the first harvest, I got 18 boxes which earned UGX 7,200,000(USD1,868). Later on, I harvested 12 more boxes worth UGX 4,800,000 (USD1,316),\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From his profit, Peter bought a motorcycle and better-yielding seed varieties for the next season. He has since become<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a model farmer that supplies tomatoes in his community and the main district market, Awindiri.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peter plans to buy a small-scale solar-powered irrigation system to use during dry spells and fence off his farm to keep livestock out. He is also giving back by employing youths who have dropped out of school due to financial restraints.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Nigeria there is a big problem facing the farming community, and especially women, with access to finance to procure farm inputs or to engage in petty businesses at the detriment of their families&#8217; nutrition, health, and economy. To support the challenges faced by farmers, SAA embarked on sensitization and training of community members on the importance of collective action, primarily through the promotion of Community Savings and Investment in Agriculture (CSIA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through CSIA, members of the Kauna Women Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Yelwa-Dadin Kowa Yamaltu Deba LGA, in Gombe State have saved N1,600,000 (USD3,623.19). These savings have become a means for supporting its members in procuring farm inputs and livestock and engaging in petty businesses to improve their livelihoods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group comprises 28 women who engaged in group farming by making monthly contributions, periodic strategic procurement of agricultural produce, storage, and selling their produce collectively to grow the group\u2019s fortunes to assist its members.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group leader, Mrs. Agnes Danladi, said the group had received record-keeping and financial management training. As a result, they now keep proper records of meetings, fines, levies, monthly financial contributions, receipts, loans issued out and recovered, enabling them to understand their finances and profits better. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72822cc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72822cc\"

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Nigeria there is a big problem facing the farming community, and especially women, with access to finance to procure farm inputs or to engage in petty businesses at the detriment of their families&#8217; nutrition, health, and economy. To support the challenges faced by farmers, SAA embarked on sensitization and training of community members on the importance of collective action, primarily through the promotion of Community Savings and Investment in Agriculture (CSIA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through CSIA, members of the Kauna Women Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Yelwa-Dadin Kowa Yamaltu Deba LGA, in Gombe State have saved N1,600,000 (USD3,623.19). These savings have become a means for supporting its members in procuring farm inputs and livestock and engaging in petty businesses to improve their livelihoods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group comprises 28 women who engaged in group farming by making monthly contributions, periodic strategic procurement of agricultural produce, storage, and selling their produce collectively to grow the group\u2019s fortunes to assist its members.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group leader, Mrs. Agnes Danladi, said the group had received record-keeping and financial management training. As a result, they now keep proper records of meetings, fines, levies, monthly financial contributions, receipts, loans issued out and recovered, enabling them to understand their finances and profits better. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72822cc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72822cc\"

with key partners. The 2022 joint monitoring was conducted in two rounds (18-26 September and 16-30 October). Members of the joint monitoring team were the District Agriculture Heads\/Deputy Heads, Regional, Zonal and District Focal Persons, Commodity Association Trainers (CATs), farmers, Agro-dealers, Agro-processors, Private Service Providers (PSPs), Community Based Seed Multiplication (CBSM), management and the staff from SAA-Ethiopia Country Office. The joint monitoring was conducted in 10 kebele administrations of five intervention districts (Kewet, Negele Arsi, Meket, Angacha, and Ana Sora) of Amhara, Oromia, and SNNPR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of the monitoring to enhance activities, visits were made to Community Variety Plots (CVPs), Community Demonstration Plots (CDPs), Permagardens, Private Service Providers (PSPs), Agro-dealers, CBSM fields and Community Savings for Investment in Agriculture (CSIA). Accordingly, the Joint monitoring team identified Good Agronomic Practices to scale up, areas for improvement, and extract lessons for future planning and programming. Finally, feedback was given to the partners based on the findings of the visit, and members of the joint monitoring took assignments for future action.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72822cc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72822cc\"

The 2022 joint monitoring was conducted in two rounds (18-26 September and 16-30 October). Members of the joint monitoring team were the District Agriculture Heads\/Deputy Heads, Regional, Zonal and District Focal Persons, Commodity Association Trainers (CATs), farmers, Agro-dealers, Agro-processors, Private Service Providers (PSPs), Community Based Seed Multiplication (CBSM), management and the staff from SAA-Ethiopia Country Office. The joint monitoring was conducted in 10 kebele administrations of five intervention districts (Kewet, Negele Arsi, Meket, Angacha, and Ana Sora) of Amhara, Oromia, and SNNPR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of the monitoring to enhance activities, visits were made to Community Variety Plots (CVPs), Community Demonstration Plots (CDPs), Permagardens, Private Service Providers (PSPs), Agro-dealers, CBSM fields and Community Savings for Investment in Agriculture (CSIA). Accordingly, the Joint monitoring team identified Good Agronomic Practices to scale up, areas for improvement, and extract lessons for future planning and programming. Finally, feedback was given to the partners based on the findings of the visit, and members of the joint monitoring took assignments for future action.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72822cc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72822cc\"
