Smallholders Cotton Rehabilitation Project
The main objective of the project was to
provide the basis for re-establishing commercial cotton production,
with emphasis on full participation of smallholders in disadvantaged
areas that were traditionallyimportant cotton-producing areas. The
project worked to reduce poverty by supporting:
- cotton developing, by breeding, seed multiplication, improved
production practices and the introduction of integrated pest management
- animal traction, by developing appropriate technologies and support
services to restore the use of animals in cultivation
- savings and credit, by developing credit lines so farmers can
take advantage of development opportunities offered by the project
- institutional strengthening, by assisting the Ministry of Agriculture,
Animal Industry and Fisheries, enabling it to manage all new projects
