Crop Sector Funding

Overview

The Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) supports Botswana’s crop production sector by funding sustainable horticulture and rain-fed agriculture projects. These initiatives aim to enhance food security and drive economic growth through viable and productive farming practices.

CEDA funds key subsectors, including horticulture and rain-fed agriculture, each with specific requirements. Horticulture projects must be developed on leased farms with a minimum of 0.5 hectares under net shade, a reliable water yield, and a focus on high-value crops. Rain-fed agriculture covers seasonal field crops like grains and fodder, with viability assessed based on projected production output. By providing financial support, CEDA ensures that Botswana’s agricultural sector remains resilient and sustainable.
