Resumen
Descripción
This note provides guidance on the
design and implementation of outgrower schemes to achieve
mutually beneficial outcomes for investors and smallholders.
Outgrower schemes have gained prominence as a business model
that can benefit both smallholders and investors. Such
schemes can improve smallholders’ access to markets,
finance, infrastructure, and improved growing techniques;
can enhance investors’ access to land, labor, and quality
produce; and can improve investor-community relations.
Associated risks include overdependency, exploitation of
power differences, entrenchment of inequalities,
lower-than-expected production, and side-selling. Achieving
the potential benefits and minimizing the associated risks
requires careful design and implementation.
