Agribusness in Sustainable Natural African Plant Products (ASNAPP) is a value chain
development
organization established to enhance growth in african indigenous plant products and
horticultural industries by intervening and building capacity along the supply chain to
boost
productivity, competitiveness and increase private / public investments to reduce poverty
and
hunger.
The ASNAPP vision is to expand economic opportunities for rural communities by using world
class
science, technologies, partnerships and business approaches. ASNAPP is currently partnered
with
25 agri-enterprises. While broadening agribusinesses and stimulating entrepreneurship among
small scale rural farmers remains a goal, ASNAPP's vision is to move local communities up
the
value chain and improve livelihoods.
ASNAPP is currently active in South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, Senegal and Zambia. ASSNAP's
activities in the African horticulture sector have seen it forge market linkages with
various
private and public entities reginally and abroad. ASNAPP uses these market linkages to
improve
small holder and emerging farmer participation in the formal sector economy, enhancing their
ability to capture value and improve their livelihoods.
ASNAPP is a contributor and organiser of the Under Cover Farming Expo which has been hosted
in
Pretoria. The expo serves as a platform for growers (emerging and commercial), input
suppliers
and relevant experts of the Greenhouse industry to network and exchange knowledge.
