SENEGAL 1979. Centre for Horticultural Development

CENTRE FOR HORTICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, Senegal, 1979 - Women workers at a processing plant in Dakar sort French beans prior to weighing and packaging. Consignments of these and other vegetables are delivered daily by air freight to markets in Europe.
This project is jointly undertaken by the Government and FAO and is financed by Belgium. The purpose is the creation of a centre at Camberéne for experimentation and demonstration of horticultural crops and for studies in the marketing of vegetables; also the establishment of sound basic techniques which will enable the Senegalese grower to increase his yields and diversify his crops; to satisfy local requirements for vegetables; to increase incomes; to improve the diet of the local population and to promote the exportation of out-of-season vegetables.
