About our Farmer Customers
As Farmer Customers, a number of characteristics may be commonly held:
- The scale of production is relatively small
- The plot sizes are also relatively small
- The crop or commodity they farm may be confined to a single cropping variety, or it may form part of a small range of mixed crops
and/or activities - Resources available to them are generally less than those available to commercial-scale farmers
- They may be considered in some parts of the world to form part of the informal economy
- They may be men or women
- They may depend on family labour but may also hire workers
- They may lack the protections afforded to commercial-scale farmers and can often be vulnerable in supply chains
Farmer Customers.
RLF products are tailored specifically to meet Farmer Customer requirements and value-adding techniques and technologies can do much to boost the yield for small farm holdings. Such is the importance of our Farmer Customers, considerable emphasis is placed on support and ongoing access to information that allows our Farmer Customers to share the rewards of all the technological advances our products make.
