Agri-Market Access

The Maysen Group Trust (MGT) is committed to directing investments towards projects and enterprises that improve market access for smallholder farmers. This dedication involves offering financial and technical assistance to local cooperatives, establishing crucial market connections, and enhancing infrastructure. MGT's investment strategy is underpinned by sustainability, inclusiveness, and economic viability principles.

MGT has invested over $126 million in diverse Agri-market access initiatives across several countries, including Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Egypt, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, and India. These investments provide opportunities for market entry, trade financing, and forward contracts to micro and medium enterprise farmers, resulting in significant improvements in livelihoods by increasing income, reducing poverty, and enhancing food security.

MGT firmly believes that enhancing market access for smallholder farmers is essential for sustainable development. By ensuring fair pricing for farmers' crops, MGT contributes to enhancing their income and livelihoods.

In addition to these initiatives, MGT actively supports research and development in agriculture. This involves funding research into innovative farming methods and technologies that empower smallholder farmers to increase yields and reduce costs. Furthermore, MGT collaborates with governments and other entities to advocate for policies that support smallholder farmers and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
