Darsfield Village Farms & Outgrowers (DARSFARM)
Darsfield Village Farms & Outgrowers (DARSFARM) is one of the nine (9) SMEs participating in the Feed the Future Ghana Trade Investment (GTI) Sales Expansion Project, that DevAfric is implementing.
DarsFarm operates as a cooperative of smallholder farmers and outgrowers, with a focus on facilitating easy market access and enhancing the capacity of members in sustainable, organic, and eco-friendly agricultural practices. DarsFarm’s specific objectives include minimizing post-harvest losses, increasing profits for smallholder farmers, ensuring food security through sustainable agricultural approaches, the conservation and promotion of indigenous seeds for tropical regions, the preservation of land and water resources, and the processing and drying of fresh fruits and vegetables. The Organization also provides training in sustainable organic farming to farmers in Ghana and across Africa as part of its services.
With technical support from DevAfric, the DarsFarm team has established robust management, administrative, sales and marketing structures and systems, with sales and marketing strategies and plans and accompanying training, mentoring and coaching that is helping the Organization to increase sales and revenue. After conducting a digital audit, DevAfric vetted and connected the Organization to an experienced web designer, who is also an e-Commerce, social media, and digital marketing expert, to enhance DarsFarm’s digital presence and performance.
