What you will do:
In this role you will work directly with smallholder farmers, providing agronomic advice, training on best farming practices, and facilitating access to inputs and markets. Day-to-day activities include conducting farm visits, organising farmer training sessions, and collecting data on crop performance and yields. You will serve as the link between the company and its out-grower farmers, ensuring that production contracts are understood and followed. The role requires extensive travel within the assigned region, so a valid motorcycle licence and willingness to spend most of the working week in the field are essential. You will also help farmers with soil sampling, input selection, and post-harvest handling to reduce losses. Strong communication skills in both English and Kiswahili are important because you will be working with farmers who have varying levels of formal education.
