WHY PHHS for Staple Crops?
In response to food insecurity: Need for improving post harvest management and infrastructure so as to meet market demand identified as key constraints to staple crop value chain development in Rwanda.
PHHS Strategy:
1. Facilitating market linkages: Ensuring producers, traders and other actors are linked to markets and have skills and infrastructure needed to take advantage of market timing and choice, thereby maximizing returns.
PHHS Strategy
2. Promoting investment: Identifying potential investors and facilitating access to finance so as to promote private-sector investment in PH infrastructure and management.
