Agri-ProFocus (APF) is a partnership with Dutch roots that promotes farmer entrepreneurship in developing countries.
The partnership was founded in 2005 with the aim of rallying together professionals, expertise and resources around a joint interest in farmer entrepreneurship.
The Agri-ProFocus network members are organisations and companies that gather, train, connect and provide inputs and credit to farmer entrepreneurs and producer organisations.
The network operates both at a Dutch(-based) level and at a developing country level, the latter in so-called Agri-Hubs.
By promoting entrepreneurship and connecting producers with national and international markets, Agri-ProFocus members aim to both open up market potential for business in developing countries, as well as meet with the challenge of sustainably feeding 9 billion people by 2050.
The network is supported by a team of dedicated facilitators, based in the Netherlands. In every Agri-Hub country, a coordinator or coordination team supports the local network.
