Description

Agriculture and Agro-progressing

ENIDC supports the development of commercially viable agriculture and agro-processing enterprises that strengthen local production and create value from Eswatini’s agricultural resources.

Our focus is on projects that develop agricultural production, processing, packaging, storage, and downstream value chains, transforming locally produced raw materials into higher-value products for domestic, regional, and international markets.

Through targeted financing, ENIDC seeks to promote local value addition, food security, job creation, skills development, import substitution, export growth, and the development of sustainable agricultural value chains.
