Partnering up for stronger impact

Funded by the Anton Jurgens Fonds, the Pepper Plus Project brings together complementary expertise across the value chain:

  • Agriterra empowers farmer organisations by supporting the establishment and strengthening of five pepper cooperatives, improving governance, and enhancing business development. We also facilitate market linkages and support the setup of farmer service centres - building a solid foundation for long-term growth.
  • Holland GreenTech strengthens climate-smart production and trains lead farmers in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), ensuring knowledge flows farmer to farmer.
  • AkoFresh reduces post-harvest losses through innovative solar-powered cold storage solutions, helping farmers protect the value of their harvest.
  • Ghana Green Label supports certification and opens doors to premium markets, ensuring farmers can meet quality standards and receive fair value for their produce.

Growing stronger, together

Pepper Plus is not only about higher yields.
It is about stronger cooperatives.
Better market connections.
Shared knowledge.
And farmer organisations that can stand confidently on their own.

By partnering up and building from the inside out, we are empowering farmer organisations to create lasting impact β€” for their members, their families, and their communities.

Together we grow.
Together we sow the seeds of change.

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
