Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)

The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a pan-African organization dedicated to transforming smallholder agriculture, boosting productivity, and increasing food security. In Kenya, it plays a pivotal role in strengthening agribusinesses, empowering farmers, and promoting climate-smart farming practices.

AGRA provides technical assistance, capacity-building, and advisory services across the agricultural value chain. It supports farmers, cooperatives, and agribusinesses to improve yields, adopt sustainable practices, and access local and international markets. Its programs also emphasize gender inclusion and youth participation, ensuring that vulnerable groups benefit from agricultural growth.

In Kenya, AGRA initiatives have helped smallholder farmers increase maize, bean, and horticulture production through improved seeds, modern farming techniques, and soil fertility management. Its programs support market linkages, post-harvest handling, and access to finance, enabling farmers to reduce losses, increase incomes, and invest in their farms. AGRA also collaborates with government agencies, private sector partners, and NGOs to develop scalable models that promote innovation, resilience, and food security.

Accessing AGRA support typically involves enrollment in its programs through cooperatives, local farmer networks, or agribusiness partnerships. Farmers and enterprises must demonstrate commitment to adopting best practices, improving productivity, and contributing to inclusive and sustainable agricultural development.

Through technical assistance, capacity-building, and strategic partnerships, AGRA strengthens smallholder farmers and agribusinesses across Kenya. Consequently, it plays a transformative role in the agricultural sector, helping communities improve food security, build resilience to climate change, and achieve sustainable economic growth. Its integrated approach ensures that investments in agriculture benefit both producers and the wider economy.
