These projects would deploy up to 6MWp of solar minigrids focused to support smallholder farmers’ post harvest processing activities across the Rice, Yam, Soybeans and Maize value chains.
Since 1999, we have positively impacted the lives of over 10 million people in farming communities across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
