Synopsis (short abstract) This newsletter will consist of four articles on four ongoing projects in Eritrea with FAO's support. These projects are fundamental to modernizing agriculture in Eritrea. It is imperative for FAO to document and communicate FAO's role in agricultural development in Eritrea and also invite more development partners who would like to see concrete agricultural work in progress. Further, this newsletter will enhance FAO’s role which currently is not as visible as other UN agencies in Eritrea. The p ublication will be complemented by photos taken during the projects’ progress. On the whole we can say this publication can be summarized as a platform that will inform and communicate FAO’s objectives to a variety of audiences. Covers January - April 2017

Ensuring Sustainable Apiculture In Eritrea - TCP/ERI/3502 2019

Also available in:

Beekeeping in Eritrea is recognized as a widely practised livelihood activity. Honeybees within the country are abundant and disease-free, and there are significant local and informal export markets for honey. But beekeeping has the potential to be even more cost-effective and exported worldwide. In order to sustainably strengthen beekeeping in Eritrea, this project was implemented to build self-sustainability by diversifying the bee-product market, creating awareness about beekeeping and building beekeepers' capacities, ultimately improving food security for the rural population.

This manual represents the attempt to summarize the experience on tomato production in Eritrea. It is aimed at providing guidance for the Facilitators in the planning and implementation of future IPM activities, with a view to establishing a national network implementing IPM approaches not only on tomato, but on a range of vegetables and other crops (e.g. citrus, cereals) prioritized in the different regions, in an effort to promote a judicious use of chemical pesticides through promotion of IPM. The manual is a technical reference that gives background information and refers to practical exercises / activities that can be useful in the field during the FFS, to help the trainees better understand the different topics.
