Apple demo plot set up in two locations (Blawza and Ainata)

The Strengthening Rural Development in Lebanon project is aiming to create a new, more equitable and resilient production system in the apple value chain both at the individual level (small-scale agricultural producers) and collectively (through cooperatives). This will be achieved by improving the productivity and implementing Good Agricultural Practices through capacity building and the adoption of techniques that allow obtaining products of higher quality and competitiveness in the local market. This will include training and technical support to maximize agricultural yield and reduce negative impacts on the environment, as well as improving farm management. It will contribute to the renovation of apple trees and guaranteeing their access to innovative equipment to increase the productivity, profitability and competitiveness of apple producers.

RMF is seeking to establish an apple demo plot in Blawza & Ainata. The purpose of the demo-plots is to teach GAP and diversification techniques, including new apple varieties on new production systems (trellis).

Kindly to check the attached documents for more details about this call, for each location has its own trellis description.
