Hybrid Demonstration in Arbaminch

In the south of Ethiopia, Arbaminch, where perennial crops like banana and papaya are more popular than vegetable production, we promote our hybrid seed in a commercial farm near the Chamo river and invite more than 50 farmers from Nearby woredas. Farmers who attended the field day were quite pleased with the crops they sow, and some of them purchased seed during the event.
