Grain Production Commercialisation Partnerships

The Department of Agriculture (DoA) is initiating a tender for the engagement of development partners to support a commercialisation programme focused on grain production by smallholder and communal farmers. This initiative aims to empower local farmers by improving their production techniques, enhancing market access, and ultimately increasing their income through sustainable agricultural practices. Interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals that outline their strategies for effective collaboration with the DoA and the farming communities.

The scope of this tender includes the development and implementation of training programmes, provision of resources, and facilitation of market linkages for smallholder and communal farmers involved in grain production. Successful partners will play a crucial role in fostering agricultural innovation, ensuring food security, and promoting economic development in rural areas. The programme is expected to run for a defined period, with a focus on measurable outcomes that benefit the farming communities and contribute to the overall agricultural landscape in the region.
