Re-establish Production and Marketing organizations
(PMOs)
To better coordinate extension services support and marketing efforts, better linkages
must exist between different geographical areas; between buyers and sellers; and
between the local and export markets.
Increasing Productivity through Modern Technology
Some of the modern technology to be applied, include: greenhouse technology,
hydroponics, and tissue culture. These will increase yield, improve the quality of the
produce and rationalize the use of scarce water. Training and technical support will be
extended by the government to assist farmers where needed.
Introduce a National
Agricultural Health
Protection System
This system will allow farmers
to detect diseases early and to
recommend
treatment
before
the diseases create widespread
damage. The system will be linked
to the local university network.
