We need to increase their production to make sure that the production we are talking about comes into existence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the country team leader for the Two-Scale program in South Sudan, Alana Sebit, said that there are a lot of innovators and medium and small enterprises who are facing challenges of limited financial support.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have the innovators, we have the medium-small enterprises that are struggling to ensure that their products are available that would ensure that there are inputs the farmers need to enable the products to reach the market,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cthe products reach the markets but there is a lot of turning points that those small medium enterprises, including our farmers, are going through in terms of finances.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that \u201cit is a call for us as actors, innovators, as financial institutes and other development agencies that we pull resources to address the critical challenge that we are facing in the agribusiness.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: The City Review South Sudan<\/b><\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About South-Sudan<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matia Samuel Africa-Press – South-Sudan.
