Verdant farm is a farm that specializes in the production of moringa. The farm was experiencing difficulty as a result of lack of irrigation which resulted in poor performance of the Moringa Seedlings.
What we did
The objective of the visit was to assess the general state of farm, the current level of operation and viability. We conducted an assessment to resuscitate the Moringa plantation so that it does not fold up production.
We also recommended that the staffs undergo trainings on moringa production in order to develop their capacity, competence. In addition, we developed a production protocol for the farm supervisor to guide his activities.
