Food Crops Intensification Project
In the project areas, farming is on a subsistence level and the average farm size is 1.25 ha. The area has a large concentration of small-scale farmers, strong population pressure, low soil fertility, irregular rainfall and inadequate infrastructure. But it also has a good potential for food crop development.
- establishing an erosion control programme
- intensifying production
- reducing post-harvest losses
- improving infrastructure, marketing conditions and support services
