Resumen
Descripción
In Egypt, the smallholder horticulture sector, which represents 90 percent of the horticulture production sector, has not been able to keep up with recent technological developments in terms of on-farm water use efficiency, and the application of integrated production and protection management, as the backbone of Good Agriculture Practices (GAPs). Overall, the sector is at risk of losing its competitiveness with a consequent loss in jobs and income for a large number of rural families. In Fayoum Governorate, there were constraints regarding the availability of water per capita and for agricultural use, and the application of agricultural technology, management and inputs, post-harvest technology and facilities, as well as access to market information and linkages. The overall goal of the project was to improve the living conditions of small-scale horticulture farmers in five target villages in Fayoum, by increasing the production, quality and competitiveness of horticultural production through the development and adoption of GAPs.
