Are you ready to take your agribusiness idea to the next level?
In many African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries, agriculture is the backbone of local economies — yet too many promising micro and small agribusinesses lack the skills and tools to grow.
The Agribusiness e-Academy, is here to support young and emerging agripreneurs like you. Already over 55,000 MSME learners are completing courses and building skills.
Creating an Investment-Ready Agribusiness
The Agribusiness e-Academy is inviting young and emerging agripreneurs to transform their ideas into investment-ready, climate-smart ventures.
This call for submissions is open to participants who meet the following criteria:
- Aged 18 and above
- Based in a member state of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) [check eligible countries here]
- Working in one or more of the following value chains: cocoa, maize, cashew, or livestock (cattle, sheep, goats)
Participation is completely free of charge. The required e-learning courses are also offered at no cost.
Do you have an innovative idea that makes the above-mentioned value chains less fragmented, more inclusive ( particularly for women and youth ), sustainable, and profitable?
