Agriculture remains the lifeblood of many countries as exemplified by its dominance in a large number of economies across the globe. However, primary agriculture alone can no longer provide reliable livelihood. Thus, the pattern of economic growth in these countries has witnessed a gradual shift from agriculture to industry.
Agro-processing, which is the stimulant for this transformation from agriculture to industry, is one of the sub-sectors now being focused-on to provide additional income generating opportunities to support the growing population particularly in the developing economies. Inspire of the emerging importance of agro-processing in industrialization process its growth has been faced with the constraints of access to agro-processing technologies, especially among smallholder agri-businesses. Consequently, high proportion of agricultural produce in developing countries is traded in raw form and fails to compete favorably in both local and international markets resulting into exploitation and poor returns.
The study recommends that government and other development partners should establish mechanisms that will realistically increase access to friendly investment capital and processing skills to the youth as a strategy of increasing their capacity to start small-scale agro-processing businesses.
