About the Knowledge Hub
Across East Africa, agroecological farmers and businesses supply local markets and create opportunities for regional trade. Yet navigating cross-border trade can be challenging, with differing national requirements, limited market information and barriers to market access. AFSA’s Cross-Border Agroecological Trade EAC platform brings together practical guidance, market information, policies and resources to help farmers, traders and other stakeholders navigate these challenges and strengthen regional agroecological trade.
