Driving Agricultural Transformation: TESMI’s International Skills Transfer Programme

In today’s rapidly evolving agricultural landscape, sustainable development requires more than investment — it demands knowledge transfer, local adaptation, and long-term strategic partnerships.

TESMI Group, an international platform operating between Brazil and Africa, has developed a structured International Skills Transfer Programme designed to bridge expertise between two highly complementary agricultural ecosystems.

Built upon Brazil’s globally recognized agricultural model — known for its productivity, tropical efficiency, and technological innovation — the programme delivers practical, results-driven training tailored to African realities.

A Strategic Approach to Agricultural Development

Rather than offering conventional training, TESMI’s programme focuses on operational transformation.

Its core ambition is to support:

• Increased agricultural productivity across diverse African regions

• Modernization of livestock systems through sustainable intensification

• Development of a new generation of agricultural entrepreneurs

• Structuring of competitive and resilient value chains

• Strengthening of long-term Brazil–Africa technical cooperation

The programme is designed not only to transfer knowledge, but to ensure real-world applicability and measurable impact.

A Practical, Field-Oriented Learning Model

At the heart of the programme lies a hands-on, immersive methodology combining technical knowledge with direct field exposure.

Participants benefit from:

• On-site learning within high-performance agricultural environments

• Direct interaction with experienced producers and industry professionals

• Exposure to integrated production systems and value chain dynamics

• Strategic guidance adapted to local implementation contexts

This approach ensures that knowledge is not only learned — but internalized and applicable.

Flexible Delivery Formats

To meet the needs of institutions, governments, and private stakeholders, TESMI offers multiple programme formats:

Immersive Training in BrazilA fully integrated experience including technical visits, field immersion, and direct engagement with leading agricultural operations.

Hybrid Learning ModelA combination of remote theoretical sessions and in-country practical exposure, complemented by personalized mentoring.

Certification and Recognition

Upon completion, participants receive:

• TESMI Group certification

• Joint recognition with Brazilian partner institutions

• Validation of technical competencies acquired during the programme

Expected Impact

The programme is designed to generate tangible and scalable outcomes, including:

• Creation of sustainable agricultural enterprises

• Increased productivity and efficiency

• Strengthened local capacities and technical autonomy

• Long-term economic and social impact within rural communities

Looking Ahead

As global food systems face increasing pressure, initiatives that connect expertise across continents become essential.

TESMI Group remains committed to building bridges between knowledge and opportunity, supporting African agricultural transformation through practical, ethical, and sustainable solutions.
