Despite accounting for 75% of the
total food produced and 60% of the produce exported by the country, approximately 56% of
smallholder farmers still live in poverty and 51% are food insecure during certain periods of the
year. This is largely due to the use of limited technology, poor inputs and lack of well defined market opportunities.
