To lift families out of poverty into economic independence.

To fight extreme poverty, Agrisud helps poor people to become entrepreneurs and run small-holder farming activities which generate a regular flow of income. Since 1992, Agrisud has launched 19,100 small-holder enterprises in Africa, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean area. Over 80,000 stable jobs have been created. Small-holder farms supply local markets with local produce in demand: fruits & vegetables, food crops, etc. They are both profitable and viable. The survival rate of a typical enterprise after 4 years is 85%. Agrisud supports populations in critical situations caused by chronic poverty, armed conflict, natural disaster or epidemic. After an emergency humanitarian aide, economic reconstruction must be the next step to follow. This is when Agrisud helps bring the victim populations and regions back into economic activity. We have 22 development programs were underway, addressing 7. 200 small-holder activities in 10 countries: Angola, Cambodia, Gabon, India, Laos, Madagascar, Morocco, Niger, DR Congo, and Sri Lanka. Agrisud offers technical back-up through its local experts: agricultural techniques, small business management, legal support, market information, on-going technical advisory services.
