FARM CONCERN INTERNATIONAL, (FCI) TEAM
Farm Concern Interna�onal is rated as one of the largest African Organiza�ons in direct implementa�on and its work force distributed across 23 offices comprises of experts and
specialists in; market research & value chain analysis, marke�ng, supply chain management,
Informa�on technology, so�ware development, socio-economics, finance, commercializa�on, technology, engineering, quality management, food processing, product design, adver�sing, sta�s�cs, biometry, enterprise development and value chain specific specialists among other commerce/market-oriented fields. FCI team is largely drawn from the private sector, regional development organiza�ons and experts from the diaspora.
The FCI staff are clustered into the following 7 Divisions which develop implementa�on approaches, constantly offer technical support and undertake direct ac�vi�es.
For the last decade, FCI has invested heavily in both technical and frontline teams equipping them with prac�cal modern solu�ons, to
par�cipate in solving the complex farmer and market systems challenges that FCI contends
with across different countries and mul�ple value chains. The staff training curriculum for capacity development focuses on skills and topics ranging from technical, communica�on, problem solving, leadership, public speaking, business nego�a�ons to private sector / Government engagement.
Commercial Villages Trade Facilitators oversee 3-5 Commercial Villages or each is a�ached to 5-10 Farmer Organiza�ons based on the implementa�on approach applied. The
Commercial Villages or Farmer Organiza�ons are clustered in Commercial Zones (CoZos) of 5,000 to 10,000 farmers with arid regions on lower limit and highlands on upper limit and supervised as a Trade block.The markets team work closely with informal markets and formal buyers u�lizing CoZo data for planning while they also monitor market prices and volumes on a weekly basis for selected hot-spot trading markets. Technical teams therefore supervise an en�re system of Commercial Zones, Buyers and Service Providers ensuring long-term sustainable partnerships are developed beyond project life. Markets teams are a�ached to various key markets and disseminate collected markets data as they facilitate trade for aggrega�on centres, enterprises (individual or group owned) and farmer organiza�on

FCI Direct Implementation Approach: The Commercial Village Model Experiential expertise, high number of farmers & evidence-based impact data reporting
A 12- Year tested, implemented and upgraded innova�ve business Model contextualized to Africa for value chain analysis, smallholder commercializa�on, food security, aggrega�on & market access. The model, developed and upgraded by FCI over more than a decade, is based on a mul�-value chain approach and has experien�ally been applied in 8 Countries with 137 partners. The model offers mass marke�ng system targe�ng high impact among large numbers of households and an embedded real-�me data capture process for impact documenta�on. Further, sta�s�cal evidence has been generated on smallholder commercializa�on and market access proving its efficacy for high-impact; its capability to transform high numbers of smallholders; deliver enterprise profitability and stabilize incomes.
Funding cycles and end of projects in the midst of livelihood stabiliza�on and new incomes eventually have unintended nega�ve market forces to communi�es and buyers. As an African Organiza�on, FCI offices and teams are amidst these communi�es and have consistently observed the risks of impact erosion due to grant cycles complexi�es. Sustainability of Farmer Organiza�ons and their long-term partnerships with buyers, service providers and Governments is therefore, now the focus of FCI aimed at gradua�ng programme interven�ons into durable solu�ons. Long-term Commercial Villages Ac�on Plans and Business Plans par�ally resourced by farmers will allow FCI to graduate grants into cataly�c funds. For sustainable development for smallholder farmers, FCI is further seeking strategic partnerships that will op�mize Commercial Villages as investment pla�orms and expand on current village business por�olios, viable enterprises, trade opportuni�es and market partnerships.

Partnerships to Unlock Rural Economies for Investments & Economic Growth
Action Planning & Capacity Development | Leaders representing 400 Commercial Village in Northern Tanzania representing 800,000 Smallholder Farmers in Northern Tanzania during a detailed village level planning. FCI uses data on acreage, yield, farm gate prices, cost bene�t analysis and sales for each village to guide informed decision making for integrated value chains.
Access to information is key in enabling smallholder farmers make decision that are informed. Through the engagement of youth at the Commercial Village level, smallholder farmers are able to remain abreast with the rapidly changing market dynamics
Commercial Village Processing Enterprises | Youth and Women integration in the business opportunities is beyond commercialization and FCI has mainstreamed food processing as viable enterprise and employment targeting rural areas with modern technologies.
Formal Markets Partnerships | FCI builds the capacity of farmer organizations and enterprises to meet the stringent market requirements on quality, consistency, quantity, timeliness and e�ective relationship in collaborative response to market forces in the domestic, regional and international companies.

Commercial village Trade Fairs are platforms for dissemination of critical information to farmers and further create long term partnerships focusing on opportunities for smallholders as well as providing solutions in crop production, logistics, �nance, technology access and marketing.
Informal Markets Digitization & Wholesalers Network | Value Chain Analysis by FCI in various countries for multiple value chains reveals that 80-85% of the smallholder agricultural commodities are traded in the informal markets. To build market system e�ciency; FCI has partnered with wholesalers who drive value chains as informal investors to reduce transactional costs, expanded trade and reduce value chain food loss through Commercial Village / Wholesaler partnerships.
