How is Core Live different to other donor interventions in agriculture?
Core Live absorbs the high costs and risks of early-stage development of agriculture. It also designs, finances nd builds agriculture-supporting infrastructure, such as irrigation services, and makes it available to commercial farmers and smallholders. The result is the creation of sustainable agricultural and agro-processing industries able to grow without further financial support. Core Live acts “on the ground” as principal (ie owner); it is therefore able to move swiftly and can coordinate the various investments along the supply chain necessary for each individual investment to be sustainable.
