Our ambition

Effectively working on development

Cooperatives and farmer organisations in developing countries are becoming more professional through the commitment of Agriterra, which provides a powerful socio-economic boost in countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

We are locally based and established locally, so that agricultural cooperatives and organisations provide high quality services to their members and develop into full-fledged trading partners.

Opportunities

Agriterra creates work opportunities and economic development in rural areas, which allows local farmers to generate higher sales figures and a stable income. We improve their business operations and distribution in the market with our peer-to-peer approach.

Experts from the agricultural & food top sector advise their international colleagues. We also put companies in contact with organised farmers. The result is better income distribution and strong, professional agricultural cooperatives.

What are the challenges?

The global population is expected to reach 9 billion in 2025. Food requirements are estimated to be 60% higher than in 2015, while the land available for agriculture is decreasing due to urbanisation. Farmers are focused on increasing production, while they are also dealing with climate requirements for food safety and quality.
