Why Join

When farmers are united along value chains, it enables them to speak in one accord, a profoundly impactful dynamic in market negotiations, including price discovery and settlement and through unity it makes it easier to negotiate for better prices for inputs and other resources like capacity building and other technical advisory services.

By joining the association, you contribute strengthening the association so that farmers can also find satisfaction in belonging to an organization that caters to their collective interests as they work to feed the nation and care for its land and forests.

NWAPDI strives to strengthen the Farmers’ Voice at all other levels – while farmers contribute the most to the country’s economy, their voice is not well articulated due to their wide dispersal and lack of cohesion. Becoming a member of NWAPDI means a stronger voice and visibility for farmers.

NWAPDI offers its members the opportunity to participate in the association’s business activities – members are always given the first priority whenever there are investment opportunities in the association’s business arm.  Members also gain access to rich and dynamic education and training programmes along with implementing capacity-building programmes for it’s members on all imaginable topics for the members’ benefit and excellence at their enterprises.

Becoming a member makes it possible to learn from others in order to excel at one’s enterprise. This is made possible through exchange tours, Farmer field Schools, modeling and many other forms of peer-to-peer learning. NWAPDI enhances representation, lobby and advocacy for farmers’ issues at the county and other levels – when farmers are united and speaking in one voice, it becomes easier for their concerns and issues to be addressed by the county and national governments as well as other representatives in the county or national assemblies
