Abt creates added value for all agricultural stakeholders—particularly small-scale producers and processors.
By demonstrating and offering training in production, new technologies, and post-handling techniques, Abt enables smaller-sized producers to increase their productivity, quality, and competitiveness.
Abt experts train producers in best practices—such as Integrated Pest Management and Good Agricultural Practices—and introduce them to new and innovative technologies. As a result, entrepreneurs can add further value to their product and qualify for programs that generate sustainable new sources of income.
Abt helps producers align and increase the effectiveness of their marketing strategies. By organizing on-going customer and buyer feedback, we help producers shape, guide, and improve their products and marketing communications. At the same time, producers build brand recognition and develop into niche markets.
Abt also provides access to new infrastructure, such as by rehabilitating irrigation canals and expanding quality storage.
