Abstract

KijaniAgro is a Tanzanian-registered agribusiness that operates on the simple principle and model that Africa can benefit from professional, commercial, successful agribusinesses that are committed to sharing know-how with the farmers, providing access to technology, and creating a network of outgrowers interested in developing an integrated agricultural food producer value chain. The model has evolved into a successful framework. This case reviews the evolution and improvement of this integrative model – Tanzania is the focus of the successful implementation.
