Agriculture
Agriculture remains the backbone of the Horn of Africa’s economy, sustaining livelihoods, ensuring food security, and powering rural-urban linkages. It provides employment, trade, and value addition opportunities, while anchoring national GDP and resilience. Sustainable rural transformation depends on revitalizing agriculture through innovation, investment, and inclusive market systems.
At HPRD, we integrate agriculture with business growth, value chain development, and rural enterprise transformation. Our work supports governments, development partners, and producer organizations to design and implement projects that are data-driven, climate-smart, and inclusive. Through feasibility assessments, market analysis, financial modelling, and policy advisory, we enable sustainable productivity, equitable value sharing, and resilient food systems across the region.
