Call
for Proposals
The
Kenya Horticulture Competitiveness Project (KHCP) is working with 200,000
farmers to build a highly competitive horticulture industry.
We
are inviting applications from interested companies and organizations to
partner in the following areas:
Potato, Sweet Potato, Banana, and Export Vegetables
Expand
the national production and marketing of potato (Irish), sweet potato, banana,
and export vegetables.
We
are seeking innovative approaches that integrate smallholders into these value
chains and result in profitable ventures that significantly impact the
horticulture sector.
This
could include expansion of current activities into new markets, adding value to
existing fresh products by freezing, drying and other types of processing, or
development of new crops or products that take advantage of existing marketing
systems.
Co-investment
ideas are encouraged.
How
to Apply
Projects
can be national in impact but activities must be focused in Nyanza, Western,
South Rift and Eastern provinces.
Applicants
should submit a maximum 3-page concept idea that describes the products, the
number of farmers involved and the level of investment that the applicant is
prepared to make in terms of management, technical expertise, market contacts
and material investment.
Projects
should aim to deliver tangible results within a two year period.
Preference
will be given to companies that can demonstrate significant current business in
terms of turnover, employees and markets.
Send
applications to khcp-grants@fintrac.com.
