Rural economic growth
syngenta foundation's goal is to improve the
livelihoods of rural communities. our strategy supports economic
growth through development of small and medium sized enterprises.
Rural economic growth and poverty reduction
Wealth creation – and hence poverty reduction - will depend on economic growth strategies in both rural and urban worlds. Labor-intensive agricultural growth is essential for poverty reduction and is driven by access to both agricultural innovation and markets.
Access to markets requires adequate infrastructure and an environment that allows urban demand to be efficiently transmitted to rural suppliers. In this process Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are essential drivers of growth.
The Foundation is exploring with partners the best options
to bridge critical market failures faced by SMEs in accessing
financial services and business mentoring.
