  • SoC A trading centre as booster for effective integration of small producers into the West African onion value chain

    2012
    download (pdf, 309kB)

    SNV has supported the Union of Onion Producers of Tsernaoua (Niger) since 2005 by strengthening the technical and organisational capacities of the 1,200 producers and, with funding from a donor foundation, the Union built an onion trading centre in Tsernaoua. Strengthening onion farmers led to in an increase in the quantity and quality of their production, whereas the trading centre enabled the Union to better organise the marketing of its products for export in the region. The centre has doubled its annual sales volume, and producers saw an annual increase in incomes derived from onions of 100%, which enables them to better meet their family needs, and to increase investments in onion production. The professionalism of the producers and the existence of a well-organised trading centre have attracted the interest of local producer organisations in nearby areas, who replicated the model, and international agri-businesses, such as Nestlé, which are keen to diversify their supply sources.
