Since 2021, we've been supporting avocado farmers in Rwanda on their journeys to prosperity. 🌱 Before joining One Acre Fund's avocado market access program, Odette used to sell her avocado harvest in small quantities at local markets. This was time consuming and she struggled to get a good price for her avocados. Now, we buy her avocados directly from her farm and at the best price. 🥑 Odette's increased income means she can buy home essentials and hire workers to support her with her farming.

Avocados are big business in Rwanda, but what can you do with fruits that can't be sold? Turn them into avocado oil, of course! 💡 The Smallholder Resilience Ventures (SRV), a subsidiary of One Acre Fund, supports and invests in promising small and medium agricultural programs, including this avocado oil plant. 🥑 This allows farmers to sell all their avocados, giving value to ones rejected for export, meaning all their hard work doesn't go to waste. | One Acre Fund
