Extension & Advisory Services
At Be Blessed Farm Supply, all farmers receive free technical training and extension support β funded by our commercial activities as part of our social enterprise model. This is our commitment to every farmer we serve, delivered through the following channels:
At the Sales Outlets
We have Sales Agronomists and Animal Health/Nutrition Officers at every service point. These are qualified individuals with a minimum of a diploma in Agriculture or Animal Production. They advise farmers on enterprise selection, land preparation, seed and breed selection, nursery management, transplanting, fertilizer use, soil and water conservation, crop protection, animal health and nutrition, and more β helping every farmer plan and manage their enterprise better.
At the Farm
Our Extension Officers visit farmers on their farms Monday to Friday. They identify farmers who need support, visit farms, scout and observe conditions, diagnose problems, recommend practical solutions, demonstrate correct practices, and follow up on progress regularly β bringing the expertise directly to where the work happens.
Community Agents
To bring services closer to rural farmers, we work with Village Agents and Community-Based Paravets (CBPs) to ensure last-mile delivery and timely support. Agents earn a commission on sales and grow into small agro-input businesses in the community β creating local employment and entrepreneurship. We establish learning demonstration gardens hosted by agents where farmers come to learn best practices hands-on.
Pre-Season Trainings
During the dry season, we conduct trainings on topics such as vegetable farming as a business, affordable irrigation for smallholders, poultry management, and more β preparing farmers for the rainy season with the right knowledge, input combinations, and value chain connections to succeed.
Community Sensitization Programs
We run community sensitization campaigns within refugee and host communities to raise awareness about improved agricultural practices, climate-smart farming, and available services β reaching more farmers and building a culture of knowledge-driven agriculture.
Digital Channels
We share free agricultural information through our social media handles and WhatsApp groups, reaching more farmers in less time with practical, up-to-date knowledge β bridging the gap between expert advice and the farm gate through accessible technology.
Distance Was Stealing Farmers' Future
Every farming season begins with hope. But for many farmers in Kyangwali, that hope was being quietly crushed by a simple, brutal reality: distance.
Farmers walked for hours to reach the nearest agro-input shop. They spent money they could barely afford on transportation just to buy seeds, fertilizer, or animal medicines. Some delayed planting β and lost entire seasons. Others abandoned opportunities altogether because the journey cost more than the benefit.
At Be Blessed, we knew this wasn't just an inconvenience β it was a barrier to prosperity. And we were determined to remove it.
We had already opened 6 service outlets across Kyangwali and the host community. But the smallest, most remote communities β the ones that needed us most β were still being left behind. We couldn't reach them with a building. So we decided to reach them with something else entirely.
We Came to the Farmers
The Mobile Unit
Using a specially equipped distribution tricycle, we travel directly to farming communities β bringing seeds, fertilizers, veterinary medicines, animal feeds, and other essential inputs right to the farmers' doorsteps. No long journeys. No transport costs. No wasted days.
Scheduled Village Rotations
The mobile unit serves 6 villages on a scheduled rotation β each community has its own dedicated service day so farmers can plan ahead. We also participate in local market days where farmers gather, making the most of every trip.
The Impact So Far
Farmers spend less on transportation, access inputs on time, and plant without delay. What was once a costly, time-consuming journey has become a service delivered where farmers live and work. The difference shows in every harvest.
32 Communities Still Waiting
In Kyangwali alone, there are 32 underserved communities still facing significant challenges accessing agricultural inputs. Our current tricycle reaches 6. That means 26 communities β hundreds of farming families β are still waiting for the service to arrive at their door.
Our vision is clear: expand the Mobile Distribution Program with additional tricycles and reach every underserved farming community. Geography should never determine a farmer's opportunity to succeed.
