News from Agriterra.
The deadline for registration for the business plan competition has been postponed to allow more participants! Agricultural cooperatives and farmers’ associations can now submit their application for the Farmers in Business Challenge before the 1st of March 2011.
Agriterra, in cooperation with BiD Network, organises the Farmers in Business Challenge for agricultural cooperatives and farmer-led business structures based in one of the following African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Zambia and Congo (DRC). The business plan competition aims at strengthening the position of producers in the market and is specially designed for those cooperatives and farmer-led companies that have the ambition to expand their business or want to set up a new one.
Participants need to submit their online application (business summary) before the 1st of March 2011, and full business plans need to be submitted before 30 April 2011. Participants will receive feedback on the plan and get access to useful business tool and to a network of more than 36,000 entrepreneurs, coaches and investors. In May 2011, the finalists will be selected. Five entrepreneurs will be invited for a business trip for trainings, b2b and investor meetings. These five finalists will compete for an incentive prize of €15,000. Furthermore as Agriterra we hope that the competition will allow us to get in touch with interesting cooperative business initiatives in Africa.
