Overview
This project, based in Nigeria and Tanzania, dives deep into the wholesale, logistics, processing, and retail segments of the value chains of several products, such as fish and tomato. The goal is to understand the midstream and downstream of these food value chains with a focus on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and to inform policies and interventions to support MSMEs in providing safe and nutritious foods at affordable prices.
Objectives
- Government, development partners, and other policymakers will be equipped with knowledge and tools to support MSMEs in delivering affordable, safe, and nutritious foods to low-income consumers.
- Key stakeholders will have greater capacity to design and implement policies and interventions that improve the availability, affordability, and safety of nutritious foods offered by MSMEs.
- Researchers will have greater capacity to conduct and share research to shape policy on the midstream and downstream of food value chain
