FAIM Project
Facilitate Agricultural Intensification and Mechanization
BLiTS is currently implementing a partnership project of "facilitate agricultural intensification and mechanization" (FAIM) which targets to capacitate Small Holder Farmers (SHF) and Farmer organizations to increase production and productivity through input and implements financial linkage and extension services provision.
What We Do
In collaboration with partners, development partners and other stakeholders, BLiTS undertakes and implements interventions which focus on addressing constraints which hinder societies to exploit fully the resources available for their economic wellbeing.
Limited Access to Finance
Affects working capital and limits expansion, production and productivity
Limited Access to Technology
Such as irrigation and mechanization, limits economies of scale in production
Inadequate Knowledge
In important aspects of farming as business, market information and linkages
Low Entrepreneurship Skills
Makes farmers remain poor and dependent on traditional methods
How We Address These Challenges
Input Financing
We facilitate farmers to easily access input financing through linkages, improving inputs supply chain, and creating business opportunities for young males and females.
Farmer Organizations
Formalizing farmer organizations to become business units and linking them to markets to ensure efficient loan servicing.
Technology Access
We support and link farmers to access technology such as irrigation, mechanization facilities, exhibitions, and exchange visits.
Mindset Change
Giving farmers opportunities to exploit economies of scale in production and change their mindset on farming.
