Incomes of over 200,000 small-scale farmers in Rwanda are set to increase following a $30 mln project that has been launched to boost market access for their agricultural produce. The project that is funded to a tune of $28 million grant by the United States’ Agency for International Development (USAID) while the rest of the amount to be cost shared by the project recipients, will run through 2028 and is one of the expected outcomes of the five-year Feed the Future Rwanda Hinga Wunguke Activity.
According to Esperance Mukarugwiza, Market Systems Director at Hinga Wunguke, the project wants to work with the actors in the agricultural value chains right from production at the farm level to consumers for effective agricultural produce marketing, based on the market demand.
