Investing in rural people in Rwanda

Rwanda has targeted the transformation of the agricultural sector with significant public investments in land use consolidation, irrigation, land improvement, soil and water conservation, access to inputs, increasing livestock herds, and capital-building through support to cooperative development. Smallholders farm an average of four to five plots that make up an average land size of 0.33 hectares (2016), limiting their ability to expand their operations, commercialize and escape poverty.
