Call for Proposals
The Kenya Horticulture
Competitiveness Project (KHCP) is working with 200,000 farmers to build a
highly competitive horticulture industry.
We are inviting applications from interested companies and organizations to partner in the following areas:
Potato, Sweet Potato, Banana, and Export Vegetables
Expand the national production and marketing of potato (Irish), sweet potato, banana, and export vegetables.
We are seeking innovative
approaches that integrate smallholders into these value chains and
result in profitable ventures that significantly impact the horticulture
sector.
This could include
expansion of current activities into new markets, adding value to
existing fresh products by freezing, drying and other types of
processing, or development of new crops or products that take advantage
of existing marketing systems.
Co-investment ideas are encouraged.
How to Apply
Projects can be national in impact but activities must be focused in Nyanza, Western, South Rift and Eastern provinces.
Applicants should submit a
maximum 3-page concept idea that describes the products, the number of
farmers involved and the level of investment that the applicant is
prepared to make in terms of management, technical expertise, market
contacts and material investment.
Projects should aim to deliver tangible results within a two year period.
Preference will be given
to companies that can demonstrate significant current business in terms
of turnover, employees and markets.
Send applications to khcp-grants@fintrac.com.
