MSC designed a multi-year program with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Government of Bihar to strengthen value chain partnerships and create sustainable business models in the state. Our focus was specifically on collaborating with a range of public and private sector institutions including agri-tech and fintech innovators to drive high-impact interventions across the three core focus areas: (a) agricultural market systems, (b) livestock systems, and (c) data systems. The project was designed to increase farmers’ income through an improved supply chain and better access to digital services. It helped enhance the incomes of 10,000+ farmers in the state by using interventions designed by MSC to reduce the impact of seasonal price and production volatility and protect farmers’ livelihoods
