SMEs to generate jobs, growth & mutual prosperity: a thread (my first!).

In 2016, #UKAid
supported #260Brands to strengthen the #soy
value chain in #Zambia.
This led to a tenfold increase in grain
& soybean storage capacity & meant #260Brands could now buy produce from a massive 6,500 Zambian farmers
year-round! 2/5

With support from @prosperozm, #260Brands then invested in growing Vit.A-fortified maize
to develop more nutritious products.

When #COVID19 struck, demand for #260Brands' products fell.
Thanks to a @prosperozm business resilience grant, #260Brands was able to sustain its workforce & operations.
They've recently struck an export deal with @Amazon. This will mean more
& job creation for #Zambia. 4/5
