Enhancing Market Access for Rural Women in Horticultre

About this Project

Building on their robust portfolio of enhancing food sustainability, Tac-Maz Sustainable Ventures will implement a new project that will improve market access and enhance value addition among 1,244 female farmers in Chiradzulu district. The project will complete the construction and setup of a horticultural processing unit using $7,982.58 from Mudzi Connect and its co-investment. With this structure, the group will set up a horticultural processing unit, which will allow for the value addition of fresh produce like tomatoes, mangoes and pawpaw into mango archer, tomato sauce, chili, jam and a variety of fruit juices. The aforementioned farmers will be equipped with skills and seedlings to produce the raw materials in bulk, thereby strengthening the project’s supply chain and offering the farmers with the much needed better priced market.
