EUCORD’s mission is to increase farmers’ capacity to sustainably grow quality crops matched to the commercial needs of the agribusiness sector and in doing so, increase food security, develop the private sector, and improve the livelihoods of rural communities. EUCORD’s projects often focus on crops that are important for both household consumption and value-added processing. The development of reliable and sustainable agri-food value chains helps to create sustainable sources of income for farmers, as the demand for raw materials remains stable. At the same time, improved production also contributes to surplus food crop production.
