The study identified a set of actions to be undertaken to build the local producers’ technical and operational capacities to improve their competitiveness. The actions include training on production and processing techniques in all value chains, farmer exchange visits to other regions such as Madaoua, Konni and Maradi to acquire knowledge on market gardening, collective marketing for market garden products and forage maize for improved prices, training on breed diversification and identification of potential sites for fish production and training on indigenous knowledge on soil conservation and low cost irrigation techniques in forage maize production.
