AGRILINK IMPACT
Offering credit for essential technologies—such as timely tractor services, improved seeds, fertilizers, and crop care chemicals—enables smallholder farmers, including women and young farmers, to maximize their productivity and expand their operations. To effectively increase yields, it is crucial to provide these services as a comprehensive package, rather than in isolation.
