This case study describes how the Village Agent (VA) model has helped NU-TEC MD improve productivity and access to the edible oil markets for farmers in Uganda.

The model has increasingly influenced the behaviour of private sector partners. This report describes how the programme introduced the VA model to the private sector enabling farmers in remote villages to have access to quality inputs and markets for their edible oil crops. 

It also compiles lessons learned by the programme related to the VA model and provides thoughts on scaling up the model to benefit larger numbers of farmers.
