1st FINANCIAL AGREEMENT SIGNED

A Cooperation Agreement has been signed between the FruitMaster Company Limited , Rabobank Foundation and HortiFresh to develop a 5,000m2 greenhouse in the Volta Region during the launch of HortiFresh. In the Cooperation Agreement the three partners commit themselves to the financing and technical support for quality production of tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers for the national market, employing about 25 new staff that will operate the greenhouse and grading facilities.

For HortiFresh and Rabobank Foundation the pilot forms the start of a longer term partnership, through which a number of projects, particularly those with an emphasis on smallholder farmers, will be supported. We at HortiFresh are optimistic this will be the beginning of boosting the horticulture sector and making it viable.
