Agribusiness and Agricultural Input Marketing

Selling seed, fertiliser, equipment and services to farmers requires a different approach from consumer marketing, blending technical knowledge with trust built over seasons. This programme helps agribusiness sales and marketing teams reach smallholder and commercial farmers through the right channels, demonstrations and agro dealer networks. It is grounded in the seasonal, credit dependent realities of African agriculture.

What you will be able to do

  • Segment farmer audiences by scale, crop, region and buying behaviour.
  • Communicate technical product benefits in practical, trusted terms.
  • Build routes to market through agro dealers, cooperatives and field agents.
  • Plan demonstrations, field days and season aligned campaigns.
  • Support farmers with credit, advisory and after sales that drive loyalty.
  • Measure reach, adoption and repeat purchase across seasons.
