Strong infrastructure—like irrigation, transport networks, storage facilities, and processing centers—helps farmers reduce losses, access markets faster, and improve the quality of their produce. Without it, value chains become inefficient and farmers earn less.
Many farming communities struggle with weak road networks, a lack of modern storage systems, unreliable irrigation, and limited processing facilities. These gaps lead to post-harvest losses, high transportation costs, and reduced market competitiveness.
Better storage systems, cold rooms, reliable transportation, and efficient processing centers prevent spoilage, maintain product quality, and help farmers sell their produce at fair prices instead of losing it to heat, pests, or delays.
PiLAF conducts research to identify infrastructure gaps and policy needs. Through outreach, we collaborate with the government, private sector, and communities to design and implement practical solutions. Our training programs also equip stakeholders to manage and optimize these systems effectively.
