Co-Investments by FAO, to uplift commercial farming: targeted and impact driven investments in commercially viable ventures. Growing from 5 to 15 ha irrigated, it makes the difference.

[FAO Mozambique @FAOMozambique]

🚀 Investing in irrigation is key for boosting and stabilizing production to meet the market demand for high-quality food. 🌾With FAO's matching grants through PROMOVE Agribiz, we're co-investing with farmer groups in commercial farming ventures.
