WARC
Farming small plots of land in West Africa is often a losing game. Farmers are stuck growing low-value crops, can't afford improved seeds or fertilizers, and lack the connections and infrastructure to get better prices.

The Mission
Get African smallholder farmers out of poverty.
How It Works
WARC supports farmers through community-based trading hubs that offer trainings, inputs like seed and fertilizer, and access to buyers. This helps farmers boost yields, get better prices, and plan production and cash flow more reliably.
The Dream
A fair, efficient agricultural market supplied by smallholder farmers who earn enough to have a good standard of living.
Why We're In
There's no silver bullet in making smallholder farming work better - that's why WARC's bundle of services has to make sense for both farmers and the business. Their community hubs make the model work by building trust in an sector bereft of it. Through carefully timed growth, the model is now primed for expansion in a market that's ready for more pro-farmer services.
