Professionalising members through land rental contracts

Written by Florence Sitwaminya, Cooperative Advisor at Agriterra

In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the members of COOPADI, the cooperative of agricultural producers for integral development, are reaping the rewards of advocacy carried out using the FACT methodology. Thanks to Agriterra's support, they have been able to sign 3-year land rental contracts. This allows them to concentrate on the investments they need to make in their fields to become professional farmers.
