The major aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Agribusiness on poverty reduction. The researcher used Huye and Ngoma Sector of HUYE District in southern province as case study. The intensification and commercialization of the Rwandan agricultural sector will be essential to reduce poverty and drive economic grow of Rwanda. Government of Rwanda policy-makers have identified smallholder-led agriculture as a key sector for growth and poverty reduction in the country. Responding to this aim, the government has steadily increased the budgetary allocation to agriculture, from 4.2 percent of the budget in 2008, to nearly 10 percent in 2011.
In this study we look at some of the social-economic factors benefited by household farmers through the Agribusiness like Income generated from agribusiness monthly, food consumption and householder expenditure and increasing values of asset such as social and economic asset of householder. This research was a survey involving the collection of primary data from a sample of household heads in Huye and Ngoma Sector. Data collected was quantified to enable easy interpretation and analysis. The comparative approach of mean was mainly used to analyze data; views from respondents were compared to make conclusions. The findings of the study demonstrate that Agribusiness household owns in Huye and Ngoma Sector have benefited from Agribusiness. Household confirmed that householder income, food consumption and values of assets had increased due to agribusiness. The study concludes that once the Government of Rwanda the policy is made properly and fully implemented, the Agribusiness will highly enhance food self-sufficiency, income and values assets of householder farmers and agribusiness owns will be increase and improving also the livelihood of rural areas through other benefits such as infrastructure development.
