In developing countries, a significant percentage of the farmers with small land holdings belong to the poorest segment of the population. The vicious cycle of poverty coupled with lack of awareness about agricultural best practices, poor access to capital and inadequate implements leads to ineffective productivity.

Agricultural productivity is the key to food security, poverty reduction and economic stability for many countries. The Xavor Social Development Consulting team works extensively with local and regional agriculture research centers to promote sustainable agricultural practices and develop viable access to the markets.

We promote innovative, affordable, sustainable and market-driven interventions with a focus on helping smallholder farmers living below the poverty line earn their livelihood and become economically independent, a key to addressing poverty and food scarcity issues.

Xavor's Agriculture practice aims to improve agriculture productivity through the introduction of innovative initiatives and solutions to help small, poor farmers increase their income, to improve the farmers' standards of living and performance of the overall sector. We work with agriculture stakeholders to reduce risks, improve production practices, and facilitate access to market. We assess the value chain; focus on problems and bottlenecks; and develop targeted, market-based solutions to improve agriculture productivity and sales.
