FAO TeleFood Project TFD-03/MAG/005 - Fruit processing (apricot, guava and tomatoes). The objective of this pilot project is to reduce poverty and food insecurity in the Betafo region through value-added fruit processing activities. Farmers are provided the appropriate technology to process apricot, tomato and guava crops into saleable products such as jam. With the revenue generated from the sale of these value-added goods, participants' income should increase and, as a result, be used in part to improve family nutrition.
