Women produce up to 80% of food in Africa yet face systematic disadvantages in land, credit, and market access. AFPI's gender program directly addresses these barriers through targeted training, mentorship, and resource mobilization.
Our youth agripreneurship initiative, implemented in Ogun and Imo States, has created a generation of young agricultural entrepreneurs who see farming as a profitable career. We also deliver training for BlackCountry agronomists and farmers on rice seed production in Ogonmeri Community, Edo State.
The Ekiti State Youth and Women Entrepreneurs Workshop held at IITA, Ibadan demonstrated our commitment to building the capacity of young and female entrepreneurs in rice seed production and rice-based product development.
