II. Program Description

Scaling Ethiopia's Regenerative Export with Out Growers (SERE) project is a three-year project aimed at catalyzing Ethiopia's export sector growth by developing efficient, inclusive, and regenerative market systems with Ethiopian small-scale farmers. Through sustainable, smallholder-sourced high-value exports, Ethiopian small-scale farmers would gain access to greater income-generating opportunities and attractive, premium export markets, contributing to more resilient and better farming livelihoods, particularly for women and youth. We envision a climate-resilient and inclusive horticulture export sector that strengthens small-scale farmer-exporter partnerships, allows small-scale farmers to produce high-value export crops using climate-smart irrigation technology, and responds to end-market consumer demand for regenerative grown products.
