CASA Programme

CASA Programme is dedicated to driving global investment in climate-resilient agri-food systems, with the core mission of increasing smallholder incomes. CASA Programme champions the business case for increased investment in agribusinesses that collaborate with smallholder supply chains, appealing to impact and return-oriented investors.

Operating from Pentlands Science Park Bush, Loan, Penicuik Nr. Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH26 0PL, GB, CASA Programme demonstrates the commercial viability and investment-readiness of small and medium-sized (SME) agribusinesses with substantial smallholder supply chains. It assists investors in enhancing the impact of their investments through inclusive technical assistance, strengthens the socio-legal empowerment of smallholders within value chains, and addresses information and evidence gaps that hinder investment. With a focus on catalytic interventions in the agriculture sectors of Malawi, Rwanda, and Nepal, CASA Programme supports agri-SMEs in preparing for and securing investment while connecting smallholders to commercial markets.

CASA Programme's work on research and communications is structured around identifying constraints and opportunities, addressing evidence gaps through research, shaping the debate on smallholder agriculture to influence actions of investors, governments, and donors, and creating networking opportunities through events and stakeholder engagement. We invite CASA Programme's management to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform, enhancing its global visibility and impact.
