BASATINE is providing MSMEs working across the cereal, legume and vegetable value chains with the required support to scale up their businesses and ensure their continuity to survive the current economic crisis in Lebanon.
Applications are now closed.
As part of the BASATINE programme, Berytech and Mercy Corps are supporting 156 MSMEs working in the cereal, legume or vegetable value chains at any stage beyond the farming level — including, but not limited to, manufacturers of farming tools and equipment, manufacturers of packaging materials, transporters, storage centers, food processors, distributors, wholesalers, and exporters.
Throughout the BASATINE MSMEs Support programme, selected enterprises will benefit from a tailored package of capacity-building activities, business development services, technical assistance, coaching, and in-kind grants.
They will undergo a transformational journey of one year or more with clear milestones and objectives set from the start to achieve long-term business growth.
