Strengthening Market Linkages for a Centre for Smallholder Poultry Production
The project demonstrated the viability of a poultry out-grower contract model.
Completed in December 2021, this 18-month project aimed to support Amazon in accessing external finance for business expansion (hatchery and processing line) to increase its input supply and offtaking capacity for broiler chickens through a smallholder out-grower scheme. With CASA’s support, Amazon accessed £200,000 from the Malawi Innovation Challenge Fund (MICF), which it used to expand its hatchery and processing line, and now operates an out-grower scheme with over 1,000 smallholder farmers. At a total cost of £85,022, CASA contributed £56,990 through technical assistance and a grant.
