About the workshop
In many developing countries, agribusinesses are highly engaged in providing services to small-scale farmers, including agricultural advisory or extension services. Yet, this phenomenon of agribusiness-based advisory services (ABAS) has received little attention in the study of and discourse on advisory services. KIT, Agriterra, Moyee Coffee, and the Food & Business Knowledge Platform have therefore joined hands in a learning trajectory that studied advisory service delivery to small-scale farmers by agri-businesses. They looked into questions such as:

  • How do agribusinesses organise the collection, processing and use of feedback from farmers to improve advisory services?
  • How is long term sustainability of advisory services achieved?
  • What are key factors contribute to adoption and non-adoption by farmers and how can these be addressed?
  • What are the development outcomes of advisory services at farmer level?

Case Studies
The above organisations will present their approach and the main findings of this study. In addition, speakers of three case studies will share their successes and challenges in running advisory services:

  • Mark Kauw, Impact Officer at Moyee Coffee
  • Maaike Groot, Manager Public Affairs at East West Seed
  • Bertken de Leede, Business Advisor at Agriterra
