At Village Farms Limited, we are committed to building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with smallholder and medium-scale farmers. Our Out-Grower Scheme is designed to foster long-term relationships that not only provide a sustainable market for farmers’ products but also offer vital support to enhance their farming practices.
Through this scheme, Village Farms ensures that our partner farmers have access to a readily available market, giving them the confidence to expand and invest in their agricultural ventures. We don’t just stop at purchasing their coffee—we go the extra mile by offering value-added services that make a real difference in their success.
These services include extension services, where our experts work closely with farmers to improve farming techniques and increase crop yields. Additionally, we offer input loans to support the cultivation process. These loans currently cover essentials like coffee seedlings, fertilizers, and chemicals for non-organic farms, ensuring that farmers have what they need to produce high-quality crops.
By participating in our Out-Grower Scheme, farmers gain the stability of a consistent market and the resources to elevate their farming practices. Together, we’re not just growing coffee—we’re growing communities, fostering economic development, and creating a brighter future for smallholder farmers in Malawi.
