Descripción
The Government of Timor Leste recognizes the importance of addressing agricultural mechanization across agrifood chains in the country, and of developing public private community partnerships for reducing food losses, creating and diversifying business opportunities in rural communities, and reducing the work drudgery of both men and women, while increasing the resilience of smallholder farmers to face the effects of climate change In this context, the Government has developed an Agricultural Mechanization Policy Towards a Sustainable Agricultural Transformation (January 2018 in support of sustainable agricultural mechanization, which provides a strategic framework to guide and prioritize future key interventions in the country However, technical capacity was not sufficient to implement key interventions, such as the establishment of agricultural mechanization service centres and the provision of training to service providers at national and local levels The project aimed to improve farmers’ access to agricultural mechanization, by providing technical support for an effective assessment of the type, size and appropriateness of the existing machineries, and identifying input suppliers, as well as providing training for proper operation and maintenance of these machines.
