The Grow Africa Smallholder Working Group has published four new briefing papers summarising best practice in business models for integrating smallholders more effectively into agricultural value chains. 

Public-Private Sector Partnerships looks at making public-private partnerships work in smallholder inclusive agricultural value chains.

Smallholder aggregation looks at how off-takers and smallholder farmers use aggregation models to grow their businesses.

A third paper on ICT solutions looks at how using ICT can make smallholder business models more cost-effective.

Finally, ‘Women Smallholders’ looks at how gender-differentiated commercial strategies can be more profitable for farmers and businesses.
