Agricultural extension workers are vital in supporting rural farmers worldwide, leading to increased productivity, improved income, and reduced failure rates.
With a significant shortage of extension workers in Africa, Agrolink plans to address this gap by training farmer group leaders, representatives, and educated youths to serve as ad hoc extension workers. These individuals will assist farmers with various services such as technical advice, training, market support, and climate-smart agriculture guidance.
They will also facilitate fair pricing negotiations, ensure quality assurance, and manage shipping arrangements. Agrolink will offer training opportunities across different agricultural value chains and provide training manuals to support extension workers. Interested individuals can apply through the website to become ad hoc extension workers.
