Optimising the performance of producers’ organisations (OPPO)

Introduction

It is increasingly recognised that sustainable and inclusive rural economic development requires the involvement of agricultural producers and their organisations. Small farmers not only constitute the majority of the world’s poor, but also the majority of the worlds’ small and medium enterprises.

If you are a professional working in the field of farmer entrepreneurship and/or farmer-inclusive agribusiness development and in shaping an enabling environment within which they can thrive, you may wish to join our cutting-edge international course.
