USADF | Transforming Lives through Onion Farming in the DRC

Description: In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, USADF invested US$77,000 in Coopérative Agro-pastorale d'Ibona Rhulangane (COOPAI), an onion farming group, to improve the cooperative’s capacity to promote onion production as a cash crop by members. With USADF's investment, COOPAI increased its onion yield per hectare from 12.5 tons to 29 tons and membership from 42 to 215 in three years.
