Our solutions

1.Seeds as a loan to smallholders in rural Burundi.

One Farmer receives 10kg of soy-bean seeds as a loan. She plants the seeds in his or her field, where they grow to 100kg of soy-beans within three months. After the harvest the farmer gives back 20kg of his or her soy-beans to farmer’s Pride Burundi as an in-kind repayment. He uses the remaining 80kg to feed his family, sell an extra on the market or replant soy-bean for the next season.

We offer 5kg, 10kg, 15kg and 20kg options to youth or women’s cooperatives enough to cover 1 acre of land, the typical field size of a smallholder.
