Nairobi, Nairobi County, KE 

A side event entitled 'Listen to young farmers from Africa � multi-stakeholder engagement for agri-business� will take place in the margins of the 2nd High-Level Meeting of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation to be staged in Nairobi, Kenya, from 28 November to 1 December 2016. Jointly organised by the Panafrican Farmers' Organisation (PAFO), AgriCord and CTA, the side event will take place on 30 November, from 14:30 to 15:30. It will enable an active discussion between organised young farmers, private sector, government and donors on how they can contribute concretely to the priorities of young farmers to develop agribusiness in Africa. The event will also showcase how AgriCord and CTA can channel support from donors, private sector and research, via one mechanism, to support farmers� organisations and their involvement in agribusiness. Participants will be given the opportunity to listen to a legitimate voice of young organised farmers from Africa on how they see their future in agribusiness, on the role of different stakeholders in this and on their suggested indicators to monitor progress.]]></description>

Kanyam tea cooperative was established 8 years ago, and has currently 135 members. It is one of the strongest member cooperatives of Central Tea Cooperatives Federation (CTCF) in East Nepal.  Since two years they have their own tea processing unit, producing black orthodox tea. The small factory was financed by the cooperative (73%) and they took a soft loan (27%) from the cooperative bank. In 2015 they sold the whole production, 45.000 kg, to an Indian wholesaler. They are satisfied and want to expand the capacity of the processing plant, as they use it for 100%, and they can only process 50% of the produced green leaves. What cannot be processed is sold to nearby factories.]]></description>
