Demonstration activities aim to select suitable horticulture technologies oriented marketneeds and extension methodology for the small scale farmers, due to prepare the detail

extension plan and technical guideline.

2. Concept

1) Identify new marketable fruits and vegetables for small scale famers in the region

2) Verify good horticulture production techniques practiced by small scale farmers in the

region

3) Improve horticulture production techniques to tackle a problems faced small scale

farmers in the region

and also CP Team Acquire good practices thru above activities

3. Number of Demo

- Agriculture institutions (Research field or Nursery): each 1 Demo per Governorate

*Demo in Agricultural institutions will conduct with above concept 1), 2) and 3)

- Farmers field: each 3 to 4 Demo per Governorate in spring season 2012 (will be establish

another 3 to 4 farmers in autumn season 2012)
