Construction of barns

One Acre Fund has set up a programme to support farmers. Storage capacity is a crucial part of the production chain. One Acre Fund aims to construct three new storage barns and extend three existing barns. This will expand storage capacity and enable more farmers to participate in the programme.

One Acre Fund customers can buy seeds and artificial fertilizer on credit. They have access to crop insurance and appropriate training courses. They can also buy solar lamps on credit.
In offering these services, One Acre Fund is contributing to the structural improvement of agriculture. And this is sorely needed in a country such as Rwanda, where 87% of the population lives off agriculture, the vast majority in severe poverty.
