The HortInvest project has an objective of contributing to the growth of the horticulture sector by sustaining production and productivity improvements, especially among primary producers; promoting value addition of the horticultural produce destined to domestic, regional and export markets so that the value per unit of product brought to market is markedly increased; and, raising the export earnings through increasing horticultural sales value (not necessarily volumes) at markets within DR Congo, the East African Community and international high value markets.
