Localizing technologies needed by agrifood MSMEs can be a game-changer in enhancing productivity and competitiveness. By adapting advanced technologies to suit local conditions, agrifood MSMEs can achieve greater efficiency and value addition across the supply chain.
From low-cost processing machines to energy-efficient storage solutions, localized technologies address critical challenges like post-harvest losses, labor shortages, and high operational costs. These innovations empower businesses to improve the quality of their products while maintaining affordability for local Agrifood MSMEs and Agri-input MSMEs.
Localization and progress in import substitution within important technologies such as: solar-powered drying systems, biomass-fueled boilers, cost-effective packaging equipment etc., will support the sustainable growth of Agrifood MSMEs.
