RSM2SNF
Overview
This project, based in Nigeria and Tanzania, dives deep into the wholesale, logistics, processing, and retail segments of the value chains of several products, such as fish and tomato. The goal is to understand the midstream and downstream of these food value chains with a focus on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and to inform policies and interventions to support MSMEs in providing safe and nutritious foods at affordable prices.
This five-year project (2022–2026) will be led by Michigan State University working with partners in Nigeria and Tanzania.
