This program provides technical support and guidance to help small-scale farmers improve their agricultural productivity and implement sustainable methods.
Who it's for
To qualify, you must be a family farmer who is officially registered in the national system.
What you get
You receive free visits from professional agronomists. These experts visit your land to help you increase your crop yields and teach you how to use more sustainable farming practices.
What it costs you
There is no financial cost for the service itself, but you will need to invest your time to participate in training sessions and attend organized field days.
The catch to know
The biggest catch is that the availability of these services is not guaranteed for everyone; it can vary significantly depending on how much funding the local extension office has at any given time.
How to apply

- Contact your local agricultural extension office to check for current availability.
