AgriGRADE

Unlocking the potential of rural economies

AgriGRADE is an innovative approach to graduate the cooperative agricultural sector in emerging economies. The AgriGRADE concept, developed by SCOPEinsight, Agriterra, IDH, Oikocredit, and IDH Farmfit Fund, is a systematic and data-driven way of working that integrates proven concepts and tried and tested tools and services of the different organizations. The ultimate goal of the approach is to make cooperatives and farmer organizations in emerging markets more attractive for farmers, off-takers and investors. 

The AgriGRADE approach challenges conventional, and fragmented, efforts in cooperative development by adopting a structured, market- and data-based approach. This approach involves using business intelligence from the farmer organizations to segment and select them based on their needs and characteristics allowing for a more precise and efficient distribution of resources and technical support. It combines this with value chain data to design value chain models, that allow cooperatives to optimize and scale their added value for members and markets. The AgriGRADE partnership is based on clearly described, complementary roles based on demonstrated expertise and track record.
