The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security of the Republic of South Sudan has launched the Agriculture Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Initiative 2025 to enhance food security, strengthen rural economic growth, and boost the competitiveness of the agricultural sector.
The focus areas of the Initiative are to enhance market participation and integration of agri-SMEs and farmers, address bottlenecks within agricultural value chains, promote value addition for both domestic and export markets, and improve access to markets, finance, and market information.
The Agriculture SMEs Initiative 2025 is funded through the Ministry’s 2024–2025 budget allocation in collaboration with international development partners. Eligible recipients will benefit from both financial and technical assistance based on their submitted proposals. The support package will include agricultural post-harvest and processing equipment, along with other essential resources designed to raise productivity and strengthen competitiveness within the agricultural sector.
The program is targeted at SMEs and farmers actively engaged in agriculture, particularly input suppliers, agro-processors, exporters, and suppliers and traders involved in either domestic or international agricultural markets. Applicants are expected to demonstrate their ability to deliver viable, innovative, and sustainable proposals aligned with the objectives of the Initiative.
Interested applicants are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) online via the official application link. All EOIs, along with supporting documents, must be submitted no later than 13th September 2025.
