Professional cooperatives and farmer organisations are key for sustainable economic development. It leads to a stable and prosperous agri-sector and economy as a whole. Agriterra strengthens farmer ownership to stimulate strong and vibrant rural areas.
As an international specialist in cooperative development, we work according to a threetrack approach. We make cooperatives bankable and create real farmer-led businesses. We support in improving services to members and enhance farmer-government dialoque through lobby and advocacy.
By mobilising Agripool experts from the Dutch agrifood sector who put their expertise at the disposal of cooperatives and farmers’ organisations worldwide, we bring the fruits of the impressive development of Dutch agriculture to the colleagues in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Our aim is to get many governments, intergovernmental organisations and even companies interested in connecting with cooperatives and farmers’ organisations and in involving Agriterra in these processes, because we know how.
