Dear Partners,
I would like to share with you some good news. I was told by one of our supporters that "some of the participants have began to seel their apple fruits informally at the nearby town of Adigrat and the nearby Mugulat market places." Our project supporter, Tadesse Berhane, also observed that "some people the people do not have enough market information about the real price of Apples and are selling them cheap." Most of the people eat the apples at home adding to the food security of the household according to other sources I talked by phone in the village.
Therefore, the focus of our volunteers in the next few months will be to increase market awareness so that they can benefit from their innovation. The increasing demand for seedlings have also to be addressed by raising more money.
The second good news is that the summer rainy season in the village has started very well and people are seeding their farms. If the rainfall continues normally without a dry spell in the middle of the season, food production would be very high the next harvest season.
Again, thank you for your support. You are witnessing the positive impact of your contirbution. We need your continued support so that we can rech our goals and expand it inthe village and upscale it to neighboring highland villages.
Thank you again.
