Currently, iGrowers Information Hub is engaging directly with fuerte and hass avocado buyers both local and exporters.
iGrowers Information Hub farmers are also keen to take up new climate smart technologies to help them build resilience against the negative effects of climate change. Technologies that would improve avocado and beans productivity are especially welcome.
iGrowers Information Hub farmers also plant mangoes and passion fruits and are seeking ways of engaging directly with the corresponding markets.
For community based organisations working with small-scale farmers, consider being a host partner and join us in empowering our country’s farmers. Talk to us if you wish to become a host partner.
