ProjectFactsheetSupport to the Establishment of Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) Impact Monitoring System - TCP/PHI/3710 (Phase I) and TCP/PHI/3908 (Phase II) 2025
Also available in:
No results found.In 2019, the Government of the Philippines signed an important law Republic Act (RA) 11203, “An Act Liberalizing the Importation, Exportation and Trading of Rice, Lifting for the Purpose the Quantitative Import Restrictions on Rice and for Other Purposes”, also known as the Rice Liberalization Act (RLA).This law also established the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) which aims to increase the competitiveness and income of local rice farmers through the implementation of rice farm machineries and equipment; rice seed development, propagation and promotion; expanded rice credit assistance; and rice extension services. The act also states that the Department of Agriculture (DA) is the overall accountable agency and the chair of the RCEF Program Steering Committee (PSC). -
ProjectFactsheetImplementing the Horticulture Advancement Activity in Pakistan - GCP/PAK/144/USA 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The development of the horticulture sector in the Balochistanand Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces of Pakistan is hindered by a series of constraints, including a lack of access to inputs, markets and services among farmers and other value chain actors. Despite these constraints, the sector has a great deal of potential in these areas of the country, owing to their natural comparative advantage. Leveraging this potential could create jobs and increase competition in the sector, thereby lifting people out of poverty and improving their health and nutrition status. The Horticulture Advancement Activity (THAzA) was designed to enhance potentially viable horticulture value chains in the targeted areas by introducing new technologies and innovations and establishing various facilities to support sustainable agriculture. The project focused on the apple, apricot, grape, tomato and onion value chains in Balochistan, and on the same in KP, except for onion, which was replaced with potato. -
ProjectFactsheetHorticulture Cultivars Performance Information - MTF/GLO/697/MUL 2021
Also available in:
The aim of the HORTIVAR database is to facilitate access to information on the performance of horticultural crop cultivars and to help users to identify cultivars and cropping practices adapted to their specific requirements and environment. This aim was achieved and the database currently contains over 90 000 horticultural data sets, covering more than 28 000 cultivars and 1 000 species. It can now function as an information tool to help small scale farmers to take decisions based on factual information. In order to ensure sustainability, the project established a network of institutional and individual partners who can continue to use and enrich HORTIVAR without further project support. In addition, the awareness raising and training workshops organized under the project enabled many people to participate in knowledge exchange activities based on the HORTIVAR database, improving users’ capacities for conducting analysis on data sets.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideA guide to recirculation aquaculture: an introduction to the new environmentally friendly and highly productive closed fish farming systems 2015
Also available in:
The water recirculation techniques used for aquaculture is not only the way forward in countries where environmental conservation is highly emphasized; the technique is also used to secure a higher and more staple aquaculture production with less diseases and better ways to control the hatchery parameters that influence growth. The strong environmental restrictions to minimize pollution from hatcheries and aquaculture plants in Northern European countries have sparked a rapid technological devel opment of the recirculation technique. This promotes environmentally sustainable aquaculture and also implies that hatcheries no longer necessarily need to be placed in pristine areas near rivers. Now they can be built almost anywhere a much smaller source of clean germ free water is available. The guide is prepared to inspire and help aquaculture farmers to take up the recirculation technique in the future. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyA rapid geospatial analysis of the impact of the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption 2022
Also available in:
No results found.On the 15th January 2022 the underwater Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano, located in the north of Tongatapu (the main island of Tonga), erupted following several minor eruptions over the previous weeks. It was reported as the largest recorded eruption in the past 30 years. On 14 January 2022, the Tonga Geological Services issued an alert of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcanic activity and a tsunami marine warning. The powerful eruption subsequently resulted in a tsunami in Tonga and the surrounding region, with effects reaching countries including Fiji, America Samoa and as far as Chile and Peru. With around 86 percent of Tongans engaged in agriculture, the impacts of the eruption and tsunami may have impacted all agriculture sectors, including fisheries, crops and livestock. The volcanic plume reached 30 km into the atmosphere, releasing volcanic gases and aerosols that were subsequently carried over neighbouring countries, potentially impacting public health and the environment. The Government of Tonga declared a state of emergency on 16 January 2022. -
