This initiative is organic farming growing sweet peppers, tomatoes, and onions as pilot crops for the training through the use of improved farming technology, consisting of a solar electric pump, drip set-up, improved seeds, and plant vitamins that will ensure vegetable products of quality and quantity at market.
The project is focusing on the agricultural sector since it is the cornerstone of the country’s economy. Agriculture accounts for about half of the national income, three quarters of merchandise exports, is a source of food and provides employment opportunities to about 80 percent of individuals (URT 2009). It has linkages with the non-farm sector through forward linkages to agro-processing, consumption and export; provides raw materials to industries and a market for manufactured. Moreover, the project insists on resource-saving agricultural crop production that strives to achieve acceptable profits together with high and sustained production levels.
