Train 30 smallholder farmers in climate-smart agricultural practices covering key stages including land preparation, seed selection, pest management and harvesting
Build practical financial management and record-keeping skills
Impact:
30 farmers improved their knowledge and skills in groundnut production.
Farmers better equipped to track production costs and improve profitability.
Improved household incomes and food security in Njikwa Greater economic empowerment for smallholder farmers in the region.
