Program/ Department Summary

This has affected agricultural activity and business, including smallholder farmers. There are at least two main challenges currently faced by smallholder farmers in doing their farm practices in this situation: (1) Difficulties to sell their crops/farm products since the collectors/traders have reduced their purchasing capacity or because of limited open hours in local markets.
