Livestock Agribusiness Profiling (LAP) project
The objective of the LAP project was to
raise the profile of small and medium enterprise (SME) livestock agribusinesses in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by identifying high potential businesses
and their technical support and finance needs and ultimately driving partnerships with and investment by multinational companies, banks, impact investors, and donors.
SME livestock agribusiness enterprises in SSA have the knowledge and reach for last-mile marketing and delivery of livestock inputs and services to small-scale commercial producers and others. These SME’s know the producers, advise them and develop business relationships with them on an economical win: win base. Despite their potential, livestock agribusiness SME’s often miss out on partnerships with MNC’s, donors, investment funds and financial institutions thereby limiting their scale and long-term growth potential. Finding promising SME’s involves intense boots-on-the-groundwork. No centralized database is available. SME’s don’t have strong investor focused marketing material. Businesses rarely have websites; company addresses and contact information are often out-of-date. Businesses are widely disbursed requiring long-travel times to reach them.
