One Acre Fund helps smallholder African farmers boost productivity by delivering a bundle of services directly to their doorsteps, including start-up financing, high-quality farming inputs, agricultural training, and market facilitation to help maximize profits. These tools help farmers increase their yield per acre, sales, and household income.
Their annual demonstrated impact includes:
• Boosting incomes by an average of 40%, translating to $115 in new profits, by helping farmers improve their farm productivity in Burundi and Rwanda.
• Equipping farmers to achieve $316 million in new profits and assets through their full-service program and partnerships, marking over $1 billion in cumulative farmer impact generated since their founding in 2006.
• Planting 200 million cost-effective tree seedlings, with a trajectory to reach 1 billion trees by 2030.
• Launching a full-scale program in Nigeria after five years of pilot operations, which will contribute towards improved food security and climate resilience.
