The Smallholder Supply Chain

By mandating that 100% of food produce be sourced from local smallholders, NHGSFP prevents capital flight and revitalizes rural farming communities.

01

Local Farming Cooperative Harvest

Smallholder farmers harvest fresh eggs, yams, vegetables, grains, and fish within the local government and state boundaries.

02

Community Aggregation

Accredited state aggregators inspect produce quality, ensure fair farm-gate pricing, and mop up supplies into regional depots.

03

Direct Delivery to Cooks

Fresh supplies are delivered to school community cooks according to the weekly regional menu timetable.

04

On-Site Hot Meal Preparation

Cooks prepare wholesome, hygienic meals served hot to public primary pupils before midday recess.
