At the USAID West Africa Trade & Investment Hub, is a reminder that the farmer’s journey doesn't just end at the farm gate; it extends to every table, filling hearts and plates with the goodness of locally produced food.

On this remarkable day, we celebrate all the farmers in West Africa with whom we're not just sowing seeds but cultivating sustainable practices and community empowerment, leading us to a bountiful harvest of quality nutrition and food security.

On this , we acknowledge the unwavering determination of women residing in rural West Africa.

We introduce you to Hajia Rabi Attu Habibu and her fellow women farmers from the Likoro Women Farmers’ Cooperative. Like numerous other rural women throughout West Africa, their hard work in agriculture is driven by their desire to provide their families and communities with sustenance. The theme for this year, "Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All," strongly resonates with their journey.

With the help of USAID West Africa Trade & Investment Hub and Thrive Agric through a co-investment partnership, the Likoro Cooperative has successfully transformed its humble origins, starting with less than one hectare of land. Today, Hajia Habibu alone achieves a remarkable yield of 100 bags of maize from a 4-hectare piece of land.

Join us as we explore their incredible journey and discover how these women are revolutionizing rural West Africa. https://ow.ly/33yU50PW1Wg.
