iDE Mozambique

iDE has 38 years of experience helping smallholder farmers in Asia, Africa, and Central America increasing their productivity and income by creating a lasting market infrastructure to serve their needs. We recognize that farmers need a combination of agricultural technologies and services, including knowledge, credit, inputs, and markets with reliable customers. We strive for a positive feedback loop by combining user insights, product innovation, and business model design in one approach that provides holistic, rather than piecemeal, support to smallholders' market needs. This helps us to spot business opportunities at different levels of the value chain. It takes this kind of holistic approach and a business mindset to establish a self-sustaining market for low-income households, communities, and market segments. iDE's inclusive market ecosystem approach has resulted in a global ROI of 20.7:1 to date for the programs that we have designed and implemented.
