The Tullow AgriVentures Program (TAP) has been designed to create sustainable early and growth stage agribusinesses, with their associated job creation potential for both the supported entrepreneurs (self-employed) and other employees. The program is built on the understanding that the solution to poverty, is sustained jobs and income generation.
TAP has been designed along two pathways namely the New Venture Creation (to create new agribusinesses) and Venture Growth Module (to support existing agribusinesses to scale). The program will provide Business development training and support, Technical Training, and smart investments to Small and Growing businesses/MSMEs in the Agribusiness value chain, to foster job creation and economic development.
Funding support will cover both set up and initial running costs to help newly established ventures scale the “valley of death” stage, the stage where lots of new and even good businesses die because they run out of money.
This program is open to support agribusinesses across various value chains.
