For millions of smallholder farmers across South Africa, exclusion from formal markets is not a matter of capability, it is systemic. Without reliable offtake, fair prices, or access to credit, small-scale farmers remain confined to subsistence production, unable to invest, grow, or build lasting economic independence.
Through the OneFarm Share programme’s hunger-relief friendly offtake mechanism, farmers gain access to a guaranteed market, prompt payment at market-related prices, and the support needed to scale their businesses. Reliable income creates transaction history, transaction history unlocks credit, and credit enables the investment that drives commercialisation, a structured progression from subsistence to formal market participation, and ultimately, to independence.
Build a stronger, more sustainable future all while helping relieve hunger.
OneFarm Impact’s OneFarm Share programme is designed not merely as a procurement mechanism, but as a structured ladder toward commercial independence and funding eligibility.

OneFarm Share graduates don’t just grow — they scale. Smallholder farmers who have come through the programme have gone on to secure long-term commercial supply contracts with major retailers and food manufacturers, and to attract multi-million rand funding and grant investment into their businesses.
Since inception, OneFarm Share has paid over R80 million directly to smallholder farmers, including R24 million to women farmers.
