About CFSP:
CNFA is about to begin implementing for a three-year USAID-funded Commercial Farm Service Center – Scale Up Support Program. This program will work hand-in-hand with the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) to create 44 new Farm Service Centers (FSCs) throughout Oromia, Amhara, Tigray and SNNPR. These FSCs will serve as private, retail input supply and farm service businesses and will serve as an innovative and replicable model for scaling up private farm supply and service networks in Ethiopia and throughout Africa. In addition, CFSC-SUSP will also work to strengthen the Addis-based EGAA Agricultural Input Suppliers PLC (EGAA), which was formed under the Commercial Farm Service Program and has been designed to streamline the inventory needs of the enterprises so as to access bulk discounts with multinational suppliers.
