Agribusiness. Improving agricultural production and food security in Cameroon
Low productivity and poorly integrated value chains significantly hamper Africa's ability to feed itself. Nonetheless, agriculture contributes for 32% of GDP in Sub-Saharan Africa and employs 65% of the labor force there. Agriculture has the ability to significantly reduce food insecurity and poverty on the continent.
Any firm connected to agriculture and its commercial activities is included in agribusiness, which is the nexus of farming and business. The phrase "Agribusiness" is created by combining the words "business" and "agriculture."
The five main stages we are involved in Agribusiness
Following is a brief description of the five main stages involved in Agribusiness. At Ramtecgroup, we are involved in all the stages.
We have a corporate approach towards Agribusiness in which we have an extensive collaboration with small groups of farmers, producers, transporters and buyers of most farm products like Vegetables, Cassava, Poultry and many other products. As see in this page, we work with small groups within our communities.
STEP ONE
The first step in the agribusiness process is agricultural production, which involves raising livestock or growing and harvesting crops. This can be done on a local scale by individual farmers or a large scale by agribusiness corporations.
STEP TWO
The producers must transform the livestock and crops into final items after they have been harvested. It can involve processing livestock into meat products, preserving fruits and vegetables, or grinding grains into flour.
STEP THREE
The person or business will distribute the goods to wholesalers or retailers for sale after processing them. To move the goods from the processing facility to the point of sale, logistics and transportation are needed.
STEP FOUR
Next, in order to promote the items and increase brand awareness, the firms need to market them. In order to attract customers and create demand for the goods, it consists of advertising, promotions, and other marketing techniques.
STEP FIVE
Ultimately, the enterprises will make money by selling their goods to customers or other businesses. It may handle supply chains, negotiate contracts and prices, and offer customer support. In this step we can step in to assist.
