Description

The project addresses three related problems that have negative impact on the small farmers in Wau region. These problems are: 1. Very low yields from small farmer’s plots caused by the use of primitive and inefficient farming techniques, 2. Minimal profits from selling the farm produce, 3. Little access to local markets. Through the planned activities the project aims to contribute to the improvement in the agricultural livelihood strategies, a major source of income or food in the target area. Under the improvement we understand the higher efficiency in production of crops and their marketing. In the first place the project aims to increase in the yields from farming plots by 50% through strengthening the theoretical and material capacities and associating the farmers in cooperatives. Secondly the project intends to increase in the profits from agricultural production by 25% by providing trainings and material equipment necessary to start processing fruit and peanuts into food products with added value. The products will then be sold through farmer-wholesaler network established as a part of the project. To secure the sustainability of project impacts in the context of climate change, oneapart of project activities will focus on decreasing the impact of farming on the environment through raising the awareness and engaging the farmers in reforestation.
