Theresa Kunda
Zambia
2024
Theresa works to strengthen small-scale farmers’ access to input and output market information, specifically increasing women farmers’ access to agricultural market information in Zambia. Lack of access to market information leads to increased market costs and post-harvest losses for many small-scale farmers. She believes that the agricultural input and output market performance has also been weakened due to the exploitation of farmers by informal traders.
The acquired training and skills will enable me to put heads together with other players in the industry to improve farmers’ access to market information, which will ultimately cause a transformation in the farmers’ agricultural practices and improve their livelihoods.
Area of Focus
Integrate policies that enable access to market information for small-scale farmers.
