Activity 02
Crops
Vegetables under shade net, grow-bag cultivation and field crops: thanks to irrigation, FAMZ produces fresh vegetables for the local market in both the rainy and the dry season.
What we do
Day to day on the farm
Protected vegetable growing
Under a shade net of about 300 m², tomatoes are staked, grown in bags and fed by a network of valve-controlled pipes.
Grow-bag cultivation
Hundreds of bags filled with substrate, laid on plastic sheeting, make it possible to control soil, water and fertiliser plant by plant.
Nursery and transplanting
Seedlings start in a nursery protected by mosquito nets, then are transplanted into beds or bags.
Irrigation
A borehole and a water reserve supply the sprinklers, hoses and irrigation tapes, depending on the plot.
What we grow
Eggplant, okra, tomato and cucumber for sale, as well as rainy-season rice.
