Honduras Compact - Farmer Training and Development
Summary:
MCC’s $204 million Honduras Compact (2005-2010) funded the $68.3 million Rural Development Project which included the $26.6 million Farmer Training and Development Activity. The activity aimed to improve the skills, productivity, and risk management practices of farmers to cultivate horticultural crops – such as fruits and vegetables – on small and medium farms. By providing over 7,000 farmers with training and technical assistance, which included financial support, the activity focused on producing and marketing these crops to increase household incomes.
