The major challenges in the coffee sector we address are; low production, limited value addition, poor coffee quality, weak market access, poor/ limited planting materials and limited investment capital. We work to improve performance of our farmers by supporting nurseries to produce clean planting materials, improve production and productivity through trainings, and improve marketing efficiency. We linkage farmers coffee to mapped out markets.

Production of pulses in the country is primarily by small-scale farmers who don’t use improved seed varieties and fertilizers and consume about 65% of what they produce.

Production, productivity, marketing challenges limit performance of the crop. 

MOT promotes improved seed varieties, other complementary agro inputs and connects farmers to map out markets.
