The East and Southern Africa Agribusiness Network

The East and Southern Africa Agribusiness Network (ESAANet) is a network that aims at facilitating increased regional Exchange of information, best practices and trade cooperation among Agribusiness-oriented organizations providing services to small holder farmers for increased productivity and market access.

 

Formed in 2007, as a follow-up to a 4-year Business Experience Exchange Program (BEEP), ESAANet is funded by the Royal Norwegian Society for Development (Norges Vel). The main aim of BEEP was to enhance the business performance of small holder farmers through exchange of experiences supported by formative process research. ESAANet’s objective is to foster increased regional integration and collaboration among Agribusiness-oriented Organizations in East and Southern Africa, for increased regional information sharing as well as trade in agricultural and forest products.
