Background:
Nova Casa Fresca (NCF) was established in February 2015 to supply horticulture products to Dili based supermarkets. The company is located in Colmera, Dili and enjoys a working network with local restaurants and one of the largest supermarkets in the country. NCF understands the advantage of a growing demand for horticulture products in the country as well as the need for having a strong supply chain to ensure regular supply of products to the market. Thus, it is seeking to organise a strong supply chain based on working closely with farmers in Aileu in order to secure a steady and good quality supply of vegetables in line with demand from the market. Toward this objective NCF has tried out a few ways of engaging and working with farmers which involved distribution of some Agricultural inputs on credit, and provide limited information on cultivation and usage of inputs.
