As an integrated supply chain for agricultural commodities, the JI purchases, processes, bulks, and markets maize, capturing integration efficiencies and effectively managing quality. The JI leverages a network infrastructure of rural maize aggregation centers called Joseph Centers and centralized processing to more efficiently source and handle maize produced by smallholder farmers (80% of the primary producers throughout East Africa) and cut post-harvest losses due to insufficient quality management capabilities. At these Joseph Centers, the Joseph Initiative also provides critical agricultural and financial services to support the development of farmers’ capacity. This integration not only improves the business viability of the JI but drives shared, transformational value for the company’s stakeholders by providing smallholder farmers access to reliable and high value domestic and export markets while producing significant returns for investors.
