Turning Farming into Profitable Businesses
At Aimak Agri Link International (AALI), we believe that agriculture is more than just a means of subsistence—it’s a business. Our Comprehensive Agribusiness Training programs are designed to equip farmers, especially smallholder and peasant farmers, with the knowledge, skills, and practical techniques to transform their farms into successful, profitable enterprises.
Our training programs cover a range of agricultural sectors including poultry farming, aquaculture (fish farming), livestock rearing, and crop production. With a hands-on approach and expert guidance, we ensure that farmers can optimize productivity and profitability in every aspect of their agribusiness.
Our Training Focus Areas

We provide detailed training on how to start, manage, and scale up a profitable poultry farming business. This includes:
