Wheat and Potatoes Intensication

Wheat is being cultivated in

Gicumbi on 600 ha

60 of hybrid wheat seed

imported from Kenya and all distributed in Gicumbi

135 tons of NPK 17.17.17

distributed in Gicumbi for wheat growing.

• 2. Value addition and marketing:

Cooperative Development & Storage

In all districts farmers are sensitized

to be grouped in cooperatives and their capacity strengthened

Farmers will be trained in storage

and conditioning of produce to minimize post harvest losses

Hermetic storage will be imported

and storage facilities constructed

Storage facilities of ex-OPROVIA

will be rehabilitated

17

• 3. Ecosystem rehabilitation and

watershed management: Activities

Activities of concern:

forestation of bare mountains, road sides, rehabilitation of degraded lands, etc

Protections of rivers, lakes,

marshlands and protection of fragile ecosystems

18

• 4. Resettlement: Imidugudu

An Umudugudu will have between 100 and 150 HHs

and will be located where there are infrastructures or where they can be developed easily

Trials for getting roofing materials (tiles) burnt with

peat are underway in Muhanga (Southern Province)

Modern kilns will be constructed in all districts

especially using youth cooperatives.

19

• 5. Development of off-farm

jobs and Social Protection

• MINICOM, MIFOTRA and MINEDUC have an

important role in training

• An inventory of off-farm jobs will be done and

targeted training conducted

• Those engaged in these jobs will be

given/facilitated to get Off farm credit packages

• Those having land without means to put it to use

will be sensitized to lend to those able to use

• Landless but having strength will be assisted to get
• ff-farms jobs through HIMO and will be facilitated

to get off farm credit packages

• Landless having no strength will receive special

social assistance to help get food, Mutuelle de sante, education for children, handcraft jobs

20

• 6. Development of rural financial

systems

The team comprising of MINAGRI, MINECOFIN,

MINICOM, BNR, BRD, UBPR and Cooperative Task Force will develop the strategy for this

• program. The first draft is ready this Monday

Farmers received seeds and fertilizers on credit Farmers are organized in cooperatives

21

Challenges

Communication between different levels

leading to misunderstanding of goals of the programme concerning prioritization
