EWEKO has evolved over the years as a powerful framework for building agribusiness clusters that effectively organize stakeholders within the agricultural value chain. By emphasizing strategic partnerships among diverse actors—including farmers, processors, distributors, retailers, and support services like research institutions and government agencies—EWEKO has fostered a collaborative ecosystem that enhances productivity, innovation, and competitiveness in agriculture.
Emphasizing strategic partnerships within the agricultural value chain.
By building strong agribusiness clusters, the EWEKO concept enhances the competitiveness of local stakeholders in the market. With improved productivity and innovative practices, cluster members can offer higher-quality products at competitive prices. Moreover, the collective branding and marketing efforts of the cluster can create a strong market presence, attracting consumers who prioritize locally sourced and sustainably produced goods. This increased visibility can lead to better market access for all participants.
One of the key outcomes of the EWEKO concept is the enhancement of productivity within agribusiness clusters. By coordinating efforts among participants, the model allows for the efficient use of local resources, reducing waste and improving overall yield. For instance, shared access to modern equipment and technology among cluster members can lead to improved farming practices and better post-harvest management. This not only boosts individual productivity but also strengthens the entire value chain, as higher yields translate to increased supply for processors and retailers.
