Distribution and Supply of Agricultural Inputs and Mechanization Tools to Farmers
Sundy Merchants has developed a Local Traders/Paraprofessional (PP) agricultural inputs supply model to address systemic constraints of inputs – seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, simple planting tools/technologies, extension service, mutual relationship between farmers and processors. The model was introduced in 2018 and has been implemented in two regions of Iringa and Njombe. The model was built based on commission incentives to all actors engaged in the inputs value chains. Local Traders/PP inputs supply model is leveraged by a digital platform called kilimoServices to ensure effective operation of the model but also efficient and reliable supply of agricultural inputs and technologies to farmers at their localities.
