I.    Introduction of the project 

 The Out-grower Services Company (OSC) model for maize and soybean in Rwanda is a pilot project that seeks to increase the soybean and maize productivity and supplies of raw materials for animal feed production. Several factories have been set-up in Rwanda to process animal feeds, but they all lack sufficient availability of domestically produced, quality maize and soybean, forcing them to import their raw materials. Most maize and soybean producers have organized themselves into cooperatives, but the efficiency of the cooperatives often requires further professionalization and upscaling. Having seen the situation, ENABEL initiated the Out-grower Service Company model to provide solutions to challenges faced by both smallholder farmers and animal feed processors. In November 2020 Agriterra received a grant from Enabel to implement this project for a period of 3 years. The targeted number of direct beneficiaries is 3,000 maize and soybean farmers, located in the eastern province, Ngoma district. Experiences of the pilot in Ngoma will be shared with cooperatives in Gisagara and Kirehe districts in year 2 of the project.

II.    Background of the assignment

 The animal feeds industry is a critical component of the livestock sector in Rwanda. However, over the years the sector faced significant challenges in producing sufficient animal feed to support the development of its livestock sector. These challenges include:

ii.  Poor quality (high aflatoxin levels) and limited availability of maize (energy source).
iii.  Lack of reliable domestic supply of Soya (plant protein) or alternatives.
iv.  High cost of imported animal feed ingredients which positions the price of feeds above farmers’ purchasing power.
v.  The limited availability of alternative sources of calcium.

Students can do almost all coursework online via AIT’s Hybrid Mode of Instruction (certain programs may require a lab and research work on campus).

How it Works

Typically, the 1st year is online via AIT’s Hybrid Instruction. Students may spread coursework over more than one year. Students take the same course offered to on-campus students via Hybrid Mode. All classes are recorded for later viewing.

After completion of the coursework, students can do their research or thesis in the AIT Campus at a flexible time. In coordination with the Program Chair, students may come to campus in short blocks or up to 11 months, typically for thesis research work.

This is not an online program; students still need to come to the AIT Campus for certain activities such as labs or research work and the graduation ceremony. However, we will allow high flexibility for such activities at our beautiful green AIT Campus in Thailand.

Total flexible time to complete the program is 4 years.
