What's the impact of COVID-19 on this sector? Brian Milder (@AceliAfrica) says there are lot of challenges but the effects are highly variable on the ground. Daniel Hulls (@AgDevCo) says logistics have had to change but maybe the worst is to come?

Daniel Hulls (@AgDevCo) believes that profit margins are a problem due to currency exchange. Investors can get around this by offering hard currency loans or long term investments.
AgDevCo retweeted
Daniel Hulls @AgDevCo has found that better impact is offered by larger firms who can manage the businesses better. But thinks seed funding is necessary.

A successful, equitable, inclusive smallholder farmer scheme is not an act of charity.
It is a commercial win-win.
I've interviewed @AgDevCo investees who have put smallholders at the centre of their businesses for insight into the commercial opportunities.
