Distributing potato seedlings as a in-between crop

100 kg of potatoes as seed stock was delivered and distributes in the village as requested by the community. As with beans, potatoes can be planted in the fallow rice paddies because they mature before the next rice planting season starts. This is the first time that this variety of potatoes has been introduced to Fiarenana.

Beans a great crop for the "in-between time"

Bean seeds were delivered to both villages, Fiadanana and Fiarenana. With s short growing cycle the villagers wanted to plant beans as an in-between crop in rice paddies right after the rice harvest. As great 'nitrogen fixers' beans could prove very beneficial for the rice paddies, besides providing another great protein source to eat.
