Three years ago, Soufflet Malt Ethiopia, the subsidiary of French agricultural group InVivo, was purchasing 1,500 metric tons of barley from local farmers in Ethiopia. Today, it is purchasing 80,000 tons. The transformation is the result of a project with IFC that connects farmers to better seeds, inputs, and new market sources. This has been transformational for small scale farmers like Tadelech Hunde. The project was supported by the Private Sector Window of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) and the Africa Fragility Initiative.
