INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is the major source of income and therefore livelihoods to most of the rural communities in Sub Saharan Africa. However, many producers go into production without systematic consideration of which enterprise to engage in, why and how to produce, market and where to access business development services including financial services. A majority of farmers in addition sell their produce and or purchase inputs individually and therefore fails to enjoy the economies of scale that are encountered in group marketing such as access to market information, low marketing costs and access to training which are expensive while accessed individually. This 5 days course aim to equip participants with skills including selection of the most profitable enterprise, development of business plan, group formation and linking farmers to business development services including financial services.
