The Agri-business concept is important for the commercialisation of agriculture. Women need to be supported to engage in agriculture as a business and move from the substistence mode of operation. One of the effective ways of engagigng with women at this level is to have them come together in commodity association groupings. Here they can aggregate their produce, engage in price negotiatios, save on transport costs of transporting produce.
Groups provide a safe space for women to interact and even receive relevant extension support. Access to finance is key to successful agri-business...in a group, women can access loans and act as collateral for each other especially where individual collateral might be difficult with formal banking institutions.
