A direct relationship with the farmers we source from.
Alcoford is not simply buying raw material. Our farmer network is a direct sourcing relationship, built on consistent demand, technical support, and, where available through FarmAI Venture, digital decision-support tools.
“From low productivity to stronger yields and market access.”
Direct sourcing
Cassava is purchased directly from farmers and farmer groups, without unnecessary intermediaries.
Market access
Farmers are connected directly to processors in our portfolio. Contracts and delivery terms are agreed before planting even begins, and our technicians follow up in the field through to harvest.
Financial facilitation
Farm operations are recorded to build a farming credit history. That record gives microfinance institutions and lenders the confidence to prefinance inputs, delivered directly by approved suppliers rather than as cash.
Technical support
Ongoing agricultural engagement and, where available, digital decision-support tools through FarmAI Venture.
Consistent demand
Alcoford's processing model creates reliable, ongoing demand for cassava at the farm gate.
Circular return
Organic fertilizer recovered from processing returns to the same agricultural value chain it came from.
