Fresh Produce

In an export market where value is often determined on arrival at the destination, changes in condition can alter commercial returns.

The project aims to replace imported crops, such as grapes, blueberries, and iceberg lettuce, with premium local produce.

The partnership will explore sourcing corridors across Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas.

The export performance has been supported by compliance with international quality and plant health standards.

Kagwe noted that strengthening cooperatives improves bargaining power and reduces broker influence.
