• Project rationales
- Sourcing strategy: Increase quantity of maize
production of the required quality while
stabilizing prices
- Partnership with rural communities: Innovation
and technology transfer to outgrowers
- Contribution to national priorities:
• Promoting irrigation and mechanization on medium
and small scale farming in Kayonza District/Rwanda
• Contribute to improve maize value chain (high
yielding maize varieties, post harvest handling,
processing)
AgriBusiness Forum 2010 | 3 – 6 October 2010 | Kampala, Uganda.
• Key aspects of implementation
• Strategy 1: Irrigation
• First use of Center Pivot irrigation technology in
Rwanda (700 Ha)
• Efficient use of water resources, energy and time
(combining irrigation and application of
chemical and fertilizers)
AgriBusiness Forum 2010 | 3 – 6 October 2010 | Kampala, Uganda.
• Strategy 2: Mechanisation
- Innovation: First private medium scale
mechanized farm, as a model farm
- Proper soil management : Use of
environment friendly technology
(equipments adapted to minimum tillage )
AgriBusiness Forum 2010 | 3 – 6 October 2010 | Kampala, Uganda.
• Strategy 3: Crop intensification
- Use of high yield varieties (Eg Hybrids
maize) combined with irrigation and
fertilisers
- Crop rotation practices for sustainable soil
management (combination of cereals and
legumes to regenerate soil fertility)
- Increased productivity:
• Maize: From 1.2T/Ha to 10T/Ha
• Soja: 0.8T/Ha to 2T/Ha.
• Tomato: 30T/Ha to 70T/Ha

and use of high yield varieties)
• Project equipment available for use by
outgrowers upon payment for service
• Offering post harvest services to ensure product
quality and reduce losses.
• Market: Bra Min to purchase outgrowers’
