Pillar 01
Smallholder Production Support
Core Focus
Quality seed, fertiliser, crop protection and structured production support.
Overview & Implementation
EDO provides or facilitates access to high-quality hybrid, improved and drought-tolerant seed, fertiliser and crop protection products through a revolving development mechanism. Before each production season, EDO and the farmer agree on the support package and the quantity or value of produce required to recover the investment — ensuring resources cycle back to support additional farmers.
Strategic Objectives
01.Increase smallholder crop productivity and profitability
02.Expand access to high-quality inputs (hybrid seeds, fertiliser, crop protection)
03.Implement revolving production support model (not a cash loan)
04.Protect household food security while increasing commercial surplus
