      abstract = {Export Trading Group (ETG), is an agricultural supply  chain manager with operations along the value chain ranging  from procurement of cereals, pulses and oilseeds; storage;  processing; transportation, distribution and marketing. ETG  is present in 41 countries globally and generated a  turnover of $1.8 billion USD in 2012. ETG has built this  business by linking small-holder African farmers to a  diverse pool of global buyers and efficiently managing this  value chain. Their success is also attributed to their  ability to adapt themselves and operations to each new  country, making the necessary infrastructure and logistics  investments to support a commodity trading business and  sound financial and risk management.The impact ETG has had  in the African agricultural sector is phenomenal. Not only  have they created value for farmers by enabling them to  earn consistent incomes from agriculture but more  importantly, instilled in them, a renewed optimism about  the viability of farming and agriculture as a business.},
