Second
Western Province Rural Development Project
The main objectives of the project were
to:
- improve food crop production
- improve the quality of crops, especially coffee
- consolidate training and extension services
- improve the services of cooperatives to benefit farmers
- reorganize coffee factory processing and marketing and the operations
and financial controls of the UCCAO
Many difficulties hindered
the execution of the project, and its impact was modest. Food crop
production increased, but the quality of coffee improved only slightly.
