The USAID Mozambique Feed the Future Agricultural Innovations Activity (FTF Inova) is a five-year (2017- 2022) project that takes a market systems development approach to agriculture-led economic growth in Mozambique.

FTF Inova, implemented by DAI in partnership with MSA, developed the six business cases below to offer tangible proof that enterprises can profit from investing in addressing challenges experienced by smallholder farmers. The business cases cover three themes: supply chain management; input distribution networks; and support services.

Each business case summarizes the prevailing business model being applied, the new opportunity, what options were explored, the value proposition for smallholders and others, the timeline, return on investment, recommendations, and risks going forward.

By showcasing new ways of thinking and operating, FTF Inova aims to encourage companies in the private sector, as well as the government and development community, to examine and implement inclusive and innovative ways of doing business.
