Strenghtening the entrepreneurship of Walnut FPOs in Yunnan
Nov 1, 2011-Dec 31, 2014
In 2009 and 2010, Agriterra supported a proposal of the Agricultural Economic Management Station (AEMS) of the Yunnan Agricultural Department to introduce the People Participation Program (PPP) approach in three pilot counties. Staff of AEMS at County level was trained as PPP-facilitator, while staff at Township level as well as staff of FPOs was trained as Group Promoter (25 GP and 53 GP-FPO) during the 1st phase.
In December 1st, 2010 an Agriterra mission (Van Weperen / Arkesteijn) visited Yunnan and recommended a 2nd phase aiming at supporting pilot FPOs and/or a product sector. Agriterra accepted this recommendation, because the Yunnan experience could offer an interesting example for FPO development in other Countries. The present project aims at further developing three FPOs in the walnut sector and possibly bamboo sector in Yunnan.
