LONG READ THREAD ON AGRITERRA PRESENT AND FUTURE 👇

Agriterra is an agri-agency backed by @LTONederland @NCR_coop @NAJKtweets & @vrouwenvannu.

It is an initiative of farmers, rural women and cooperatives from the #Netherlands to support farmer associations & cooperatives

Agriterra brings advice, training and enables exchanges between farmers worldwide to improve governance, financial management and plan the business of ambitious cooperatives.

For Agriterra trainings, refer to www.training/agriterra.org

The Agriterra advice, training and exchanges have helped hundreds of #cooperatives to gather member #capital and access bank loans to thrive their #business and establish new #processing and #marketing facilities

Agriterra caters for new and effective ways of #advocating for farmer interests, building on farmer consultations and exchanges with experts #FACT

Agriterra puts cooperatives in a pivot role to convene private chain parties and other stakeholders to bring their #services, #products with info on their use, to the farmer members

Cooperatives become in that way information and #innovation hubs, boosting two-way communication between members and chain parties

Agriterra deploys, via its @agripool_advice , farmers, staff and directors recruited from #successful cooperatives and farmer organizations, in support of their colleagues in #Africa, #Asia and #LatinAmerica

Danish farmers engage with @Agriterra to scale up activities, combining agro-industrialization and sustainable intensification

With @worldfarmersorg they lobby for @agriterra to become the agricultural entity accredited to the @theGCF

The collaborating parties in this way, will put into action the recommendations of the @EU_Commission @_AfricanUnion Task Force Rural Africa bit.ly/36jWw2y and of the World Resource Institute bit.ly/36k88CI

Agriterra is an agri-agency is closely related to the #Dutch #government by virtue of a #collaboration agreement signed in 2003 and ratified in 2010.

In that way, the Dutch government actively engages NL AGRO in #PrivateSectorDevelopment in developing countries
