Eritrean Women in Agri-business Association: A Promising Women Entrepreneurship
The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of the State of Eritrea is working with the goal to ensure safe and nutritious food security. As a result, it has been seeking different ways to reach this goal. Providing technological support and creating an enabling environment for small and medium commercial farmers (SMCFs) is one of the focuses of the MoA. The overall goal of the Small and Medium Commercial Farmers Strategy (SMCFS) is “to support farmers who engage in highly-productive, profitable agriculture value chains linked to domestic and international markets by 2028. The SMCFs will supply domestic agro-industries with high-value agricultural products, contribute to higher farmers’ incomes, utilize natural resources in a sustainable manner, and generate growing high-quality employment.”
