Small irrigation project for the development of tomato production in Niger (PPI/DPT)

About this project

The goal of the initiative is to develop tomato production in all seasons in order to improve the quality of local products, increase producers' incomes and at the same time improve food and nutritional security in Niger. The project aims to contribute to the development of the tomato value chain, through three components: 100 ha of hydro-agricultural systems with solar pumping, the development and enhancement of production sites through the purchase and distribution of agricultural inputs, support to the preservation and marketing of tomatoes through a better structuring of the sector. The management of the project will be ensured by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG/EL), and in particular by the Directorate General of Rural Engineering (DGGR) and the Directorate General of Agriculture (DGA). Project partners will also be the farmers' organizations, in particular the federation of horticultural producers FCMN Niya. The final beneficiaries are about 4,500 people, divided into 4 municipalities in the 2 regions of Tahoua and Maradi, for a duration of 36 months.
