Agricos, an agro-dealer, on Friday trained female workers and subsistence farmers at Naming’omba Tea Estate to embrace production of high value addition crops and offering market linkages.
Speaking during the training, Agricos operations and project director Justin Kaliwo said their vision is to eradicate food insecurity by supporting farmers through trainings sessions.
“This platform will allow farmers to produce sufficient quantity of produce with international quality standards to satisfy buyers’ demand,” he said.
In his remarks, Naming’omba Estates human resource manager Thomas Chakukuma said they want to empower female workers by giving them a platform to engage in some businesses to improve their livelihood.
One of the farmers, Lizzie Lombe, said the project will empower women economically.
