The awards ceremony, held on June 24, 2026, marked the formal close of the current agricultural season.

ETG operates on a structured partnership model where agro-dealers sign supply agreements mapped to specific sales targets. The benchmarks serve as the primary metrics for assessing dealer performance, with the highest achievers receiving annual recognition.

Among the winners was Nzabanita Sabin, an agro-dealer from Nyagatare District, who set an ambitious target to sell 200 tonnes of inputs this season, a milestone he didn't just meet, but actively surpassed.

"This award is incredibly motivating and pushes me to work even harder," Sabin said. "I plan to reinvest the cash prize directly back into expanding my stock so I can secure a spot among the top performers again next season."

For Sarah Mushimiyimana, also operating out of Nyagatare District, the partnership with ETG has been entirely transformative for her business capacity.

"I started selling agricultural inputs back in 2021. At the time, people discouraged me and told me I would fail," Mushimiyimana recalled. "I started with just a single shop. Today, thanks to my partnership with ETG, I operate three distinct locations."

Empowering women in agribusiness

The event also highlighted the growing impact of women in Rwanda's agricultural supply chain. Ingabire Joyce, a winning dealer from Burera District, used the platform to encourage more women to confidently enter the agricultural sector.

"When I started, I was operating at a very low level, selling just three to five tonnes per season, and sometimes struggling to recover my costs before the next cycle," Joyce shared. "But after partnering with ETG, I now own a thriving shop valued at Rwf 8 million. I encourage other women to be bold and take action. You only truly understand the potential of this business once you dive in."

The awarded dealers largely attributed their high sales volumes to the market reputation of ETG’s inventory, noting that the products are high-quality and fast-moving. ETG’s diverse portfolio features more than 200 types of agricultural inputs, including fertilizers under the premium Falcon and Kynoch brands, alongside seeds, pesticides, and specialized fertilizers and machinery like seeders and irrigation equipment.

Driving national agricultural transformation

The Managing Director of ETG Rwanda, Vishal Patel, said the awards recognize not only sales performance but also the dealers’ contribution to agricultural transformation.

"Through their vital role in the agricultural value chain, these partners have directly contributed to increased crop productivity, improved food security, and better livelihoods for rural farming communities," the Managing Director stated.

"This event allowed us to strengthen our network, recognize real achievements, and reaffirm our shared commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture across Rwanda."

He further revealed the massive scale of their distribution network, noting that ETG products successfully reached 1.2 million farmers during the last agricultural season alone.

The Managing Director also encouraged agro-dealers and professionals who have not yet partnered with ETG to consider joining the company, describing it as an organization driven by innovation, integrity, and a strong sense of purpose.

“For those who have not yet started working with ETG, I would say this: ETG is more than just a company, it is a place where innovation, integrity, and purpose come together,” he said.

He noted that the company is committed to empowering farmers, strengthening agricultural value chains, and driving sustainable growth in communities across the country.

According to him, working with ETG offers an opportunity to be part of an organization that values teamwork, continuous learning, and excellence while contributing to food security and economic development.

“If you are looking for an opportunity to grow professionally while contributing to a greater purpose, ETG is the right place to begin your journey. If farmers grow, we grow too,” he said.

He added that ETG's vision is to create a sustainable impact in the lives of farmers and promote what the company describes as “360-degree happiness” across the agricultural ecosystem.
