Good day,
Smallholder farmers from Cuchi, Cuito Cuanavale and Menongue, alongside Extension Officers from the Instituto de Desenvolvimento Agrário (IDA) and students from the Instituto Médio Agrário do Missombo, successfully selected five improved sorghum varieties that meet their preferences during a field day held on the 16th of June 2023 in Cuando Cubango, Angola. Each of the three communities was granted the opportunity to pick what they could consider as the top 5 of improved sorghum varieties from the field trials. This participatory varietal selection activity is the second leg of a similar process led by the Agricultural Productivity Programme for Southern Africa (APPSA) through a sub-project titled “Strengthening Sorghum Seed Systems in Angola and Lesotho”.
