GRANT REQUEST TO CONDUCT WORKSHOPS TO ENHANCE CURRENT COMMERCIAL

AGRICULTURE PRACTICES FOR UWAMWIMA SMALL HOLDER FARMERS


Programme Title: ENCHANCING CURRENT COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
Proponent:

Brian M Touray (VSO S.L.) ZEST PROJECT MANAGER, ZANZIBAR

Target Beneficiaries:
6 Uwamwima farming communities will benefit from the project. Each community consist of
40 farmers which brings the total number of beneficiaries to 240.
Duration:
Budget:

Once funds are secured, it will take about 1 month to complete


Budget for each farming community is on the last page of the proposal

Background Information:
Uwamwima has approximately 1000 farmers, of whom only few are producing well.
However, some of the problems can be blamed on the following factors, which can easily be
fixed by educating them to follow a simple farming mechanism.
1. Lack of large area of land ownership
2. Producing only one type of crop/vegetable
3. No planting patterns
4. Subsistence farming (only growing crops like Cassava, Maize and Bananas)
Farmers are some of the poorest people in Zanzibar, and to top it up, there are as much
women farmers as there are men. Research shows that the average annual gross profit for a
Zanzibar farmer is less than $1 per day. After you subtract the annual labour cost, the
estimated profit diminishes, which concludes that majority of the farmers earn far below
the GDP per capita in Zanzibar.
General Objectives:
For all the farmers to be aware that some of the current constrains of farming can be
enhanced through a simple implementation of modern farming method. And that there is a
great chance of increasing their productivity and profits.
Specific Objectives:
1. To maximize the profits of the farmers through higher production of vegetables
2. To create awareness and the need for growing multiple crops/vegetables
3. To induce the fact that the size of the land does not matter but the technology
4. To spread the awareness of the vegetables in demand by the tourism industry
Methodology
1. There will be a total of four workshops, one in each area for four days
2. Workshop will utilize a participatory activity/situational interactive driven module
3. Make sure that the message positively reaches the audience
4. A follow-up visit during the next planting season of various vegetables will take place

How this need has been identified:


1. Consultation with other partner networks was done, and the common problem of
not enough land and lack of the technology of planting multiple vegetables/crops
were identified.
2. There was also an intimate interaction with a large majority of the farmers, who
identified their concerns of low productivity which in turn means fewer profits.
3. Most of the farmers expressed the need of an educational workshop to teach them
about how to overcome some of the existing issues impeding their ability to
maximise their production, regardless of the size of land they own.
4. It has been identified that the following vegetables/crops are on the top 10 list for
high demand by hotels and restaurants:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
H.
I.
J.

Tomato
Iris Potato
Green Pepper
Onion
Carrot
Zucchini
Pineapple
pawpaw
Watermelon
Passion Fruit

Benefits to be derived from this proposed initiatives:


1. Capacity building to the farmers on vegetable/crop planting patterns
2. More buying power due to higher generation of sustainable income
3. More effective usage of their current loans and savings (buying various seeds)
4. Attracting more farmers to practice growing multiple vegetables in demand
Activities:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Prepare workshop material for the facilitators


Farmers will be divided in to four groups for role play and discussion purposes
Various scenarios will be presented to allow participants to choose best practices
Four farmers from each area will be selected to coordinate a follow-up visit

Expected outcomes:
1. Creation of more gender and youth balanced community farming method
2. Farmers will learn good farming practices
3. Following the simple guidelines will mean higher productivity and income
4. Good yield and higher income will attract more farmers
5. Local government may recognize the farmers and allocate more land for farming
6. The practice may extend beyond just the Uwamwima farmers

Farming Communities: (50 participants are expected from each area)
