Capacity development and value creation for traditional rice varieties

The project supports and organises the capacity building of farmers in traditional and organic farming and the innovative marketing of goods under fair conditions in Sri Lanka.
At present, the younger generation is not interested in growing rice because there is no support, poor pay and a low social status.
In addition, middlemen make more profit than the farmers. Sri Lanka has a rice import surplus, with most of the rice coming from India. The project aims to provide structural support to farmers on their way to more added value, more social respect and a dignified life.
