Value Chain Development

At JP Yata, we believe true transformation in African agriculture starts at the root — with the people, communities, and systems that make trade possible.

Our Value Chain Development service goes beyond trade. We invest in building better supply chains by supporting farmers, enhancing local processing capacity, and partnering with cooperatives, processors, and investors to create long-term, shared value.

Cooperative & Farmer Engagement

We work directly with farmer groups and producer cooperatives to:

Strengthen supply relationships
Offer training and quality improvement support
Facilitate access to certifications (e.g., organic, fair trade)
Introduce traceability systems (GPS, QR, batch tracking)

Local Processing Partnerships

Rather than build our own factories, we co-invest or collaborate with existing processors. We help improve:

Processing capacity for shea, cashew, and soy
Packaging and quality control systems
Export-readiness and buyer requirements (e.g., filtration, labelling)
Infrastructure access (e.g., cold storage, warehousing)

Supply Chain Impact Projects

We design and implement value chain projects that meet the needs of:

Development partners (DFIs, NGOs, ESG funds)
Buyers seeking sustainable sourcing
Governments focused on rural job creation

Let’s Build Together

Who This Is For

Buyers looking for ethically sourced, traceable agro commodities
Impact Investors seeking credible local partners
Development Agencies & NGOs interested in field execution
Local Processors & Cooperatives ready to grow with technical/commercial support

Why It Matters

70% of agricultural value is lost when Africa exports raw materials
Local processing increases incomes, creates jobs, and keeps value at origin
Sustainable supply chains build resilience — for suppliers and buyers alike

Let’s Build Together

Whether you're a buyer looking for traceable sourcing, or an investor seeking impactful agribusiness projects — JP Yata is your trusted partner on the ground.
