Farmer-Focused Transformation (FFT)

The Farmer-Focused Transformation (FFT) programme, supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is helping farmer organisations and cooperatives grow stronger. At the heart of the programme lies a simple belief: when farmer organisations are well-structured and effective, they can drive local prosperity, create fairer opportunities, and strengthen entire communities.

Farmer-Focused Transformation: Growing Stronger Together

FFT works along three main pathways:

  • Lobby and advocacy – making sure farmers’ voices are heard where decisions are made
  • Farmer-led businesses – supporting farmers in building competitive and thriving enterprises
  • Sustainable services – improving access to resources, markets, and opportunities

By focusing on cash crops, the programme not only helps improve local food security but also connects organised farmers to regional and international markets. This creates jobs, improves incomes, and builds stronger bargaining positions for farmers.

Building connections and creating opportunities

Farmer organisations do not stand alone. They operate within wider systems that include markets, governments, financial institutions, and local communities. FFT helps strengthen these relationships by:

  • Connecting farmer organisations with traders, processors, buyers, and Dutch partners
  • Supporting access to finance, certifications, and commercial contracts
  • Working with public and private stakeholders on policies that benefit farmers

Through these efforts, FFT is nurturing a cooperative sector that is resilient, inclusive, and future-facing. By helping farmer organisations grow, the programme contributes to stronger rural communities, improved food security, and sustainable agricultural systems that benefit both local markets and international trade.

Cooperation is key

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

Building on the success of the Dutch cooperative sector, we strengthen farmer organisations. Together we achieve your sustainability goals and create lasting impact as we do so. A win-win for all involved
