USAID and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry launched the FARM program, which marshals a variety of resources in a re-emerging agricultural area. It's designed to inspire others to join as partners in reducing hunger in southern Sudan.
Today we launched the Food, Agribusiness, and Rural Markets (FARM) Program, an innovative and promising partnership with the Government of South Sudan to rebuild capacity in the “green belt zone,” where conflict destroyed much local agricultural production during Sudan’s civil war. This area has high potential and, with new road construction, will be connected to fast-growing markets for farm goods.
Congratulations for launching the farm program in South Sudan, we shall be able to produce our own food instead relaying on imported food stuffs from the neighboring countries. let’s join hands together to alleviate poverty in South Sudan.
