Avocado Value Chain Development

Excellent Initiative. Good To See Great Progress On This Project. Though Fully Under Farmer. The Government's Program Supplying Grafted Avocado Seedlings To Farmers Has Demonstrably Improved The Avocado Value Chain. The Success Of The Seedlings Signifies A Positive Step Towards Increased Productivity And Potential Economic Benefits For Farmers.

moving Forward? I Would Suggestion Expansion Of The Project To Other Wards, As Well As An Equivalent Investment In Value Addition In Terms Of Post Harvest/maturity Handling: Storage, Processing Or Looking For Export Market For The Whole Fruit.
