The Greenrail Project
The Greenrail Project works with talented agricultural entrepreneurs worldwide, giving them the opportunity to grow and flourish.
Our global programs will provide the relevant resources they need to scale their business, support their families, lift up their communities, and transform their futures.
Centered around “Achieving Better Economic and Social Outcomes, Together.” It will be built on these key tenets:
Techniques
Enhancing yield and the quality of agricultural produce
Technology
Improving efficiency in growing, responsible pest control and harvesting
Accreditation
Enhancing food safety and market access through credentials like “Organic”, “Non-GMO” and adopting Fair Trade principles
Marketing
Implementing effective marketing techniques and knowledge
Global Logistics
Providing freight and global logistics support to ship produce globally worldwide
Marketplace Connections
Building resilient businesses by establishing relevant connections to maximize the success probability
With meticulous planning and execution, our team will create toolkits for program participants, packaged as “Business Tools in a Box”. By equipping participants with tools and support for exporting their produce, we aim to establish a self-sustaining cycle that enhances the local community’s livelihood.
The Greenrail Project will identify communities it can support, intending to complete 5-10 such projects over a 5-year time frame from initial launch.
