FRGII expert visited Fedis ARC
On September 27th, Mr. Seo of JICA FRGII project visited Fedis ARC and their FRG research site at Fedis.
Fedis ARC has been working on FRG based research activities on seed treatment for groundnuts. At their research site in Fedis sub-station, they exchanged information on progress of the research activities and opinion to make it more participatory.
Fedis ARC is actively working with Farmer Training Centers (FTCs) to demonstrate the technologies that they can offer to the surrounding farmers. FRGII project is also looking into the possibilities to connect FRG research activities with FTCs.
