The agriculture sector is a major provider of jobs. It addresses food security, empowers communities, and improves livelihoods across the Blue Pacific continent. The sector is prone to adverse weather conditions, yet its produce is highly sort after in New Zealand. It is the largest source of exports from the region to New Zealand. We have partnered with internationally renowned organisations IDH – Farmfit Fund (IDH) the world’s largest private - public impact fund for small holder farmers, and Ata Marie a world leading agricultural consultant and IDH partner to deliver this follow up webinar to our May webinar on ‘How to attract private investment in the agriculture sector in Pacific Island Countries’. This webinar will look at ‘Learning how to optimise smallholder farming operations through aggregation, technology and experience.’ It will introduce IDH’s world leading expertise and services that can be deployed to help organise, fund, and execute changes to the way smallholder farming is done throughout the Pacific Islands. The webinar will also share the various approaches that IDH use to promote business growth in developing economies through sustainable trade. It will show how to optimise farmer’s operations, increase profitability, productivity and increase the standard of living for those in the agricultural industry.
