How Caritas Czech Republic is Supporting the Development of Value Chains in Western Zambia
In a quest to radically change the face of local businesses for struggling small-holder farmers in Western Province, one of the least developed regions of Zambia, Caritas Czech Republic has been working with local agri-business enthusiasts dedicated to fighting the odds and increasing agricultural productivity and value addition through innovative approaches. The project, funded by Czech Development Agency and supported by the Zambian government as well as Czech and Zambian universities, specifically focuses on mango, cassava and organic fertilizer value chains. So far, the project has supported over 180 smallholder farmers involved in agriculture production and helped five local visionaries build brand new processing plants.
