Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) demonstrated in Ethiopia!
The WorldVeg Ethiopia office held a field day for personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture, EIAR, Arsi University staff and students, agro-dealers and vegetable farmers to demonstrate the importance of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in tomato production.
Ethiopia regenerates agriculture with vegetables
Using regenerative agricultural practices, the new Veggies 4 Planet & People project will engage women and youth in business activities to improve their incomes, the health of their communities, and the environment.
A project for people and the planet
A new project funded by the IKEA Foundation to engage women and youth in vegetable production and distribution networks aims to close the ‘vegetable gap’ and improve livelihoods and nutrition in Ethiopia and Kenya.
WorldVeg in Ethiopia
Her Excellency Aynalem Nigussie Ali, State Minister of Agriculture of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, graciously welcomed a WorldVeg delegation on 17 June 2019 in Addis Ababa to discuss opportunities for collaboration. The team conducted a scoping study to determine how best WorldVeg can contribute to the country's efforts to expand vegetable production. Horticulture is a major driver of the agricultural sector in Ethiopia, and the government is expanding small-scale irrigation with fruit, vegetables and tubers as major target crops. The country seeks to establish year-round production, reduce postharvest losses, and increase use of its rich biodiversity of nutrient-dense traditional vegetables.
Characterization of pre- and postharvest losses of tomato supply chain in Ethiopia
Results indicate that tomato production is being done by relatively young married individuals who have at least primary level education. More than 16% of respondents encounter produce losses due to high incidence of diseases, insect pest and mechanical injuries, each of them accounting for more than 20% of postharvest losses.
Characterization and assessment of vegetable production and marketing systems in the humid tropics of Ethiopia
First-hand information about vegetable production and marketing systems is essential to devise appropriate strategies aimed at enhancing vegetable value chain development.
