Musika is an independent Zambian non-profit company supported by the Swedish Embassy in Lusaka to stimulate and support private sector investment in the smallholder and rural markets. Musika’s operations are national in scope and stretch across the agricultural industry, working primarily with those corporate entities in the sector that are committed to engaging the rural poor as their clients, suppliers and consumers. Musika provides its clients with high quality, commercially focused technical advice and business support to catalyse and strengthen mutually beneficial commercial relationships between the corporate and smallholder markets. Musika focuses on supporting the development of commercial relationships in which there is some form of ‘value addition’ to the transaction that give not only the opportunity but also the technical knowledge and confidence to smallholder farmers to invest in and improve their farming businesses.
Musika’s approach to reducing poverty and creating wealth in rural Zambia involves stimulating the development of a supportive market environment that provides long term and sustainable opportunities for farmers to invest in their own production and to use the markets to graduate out of poverty.
