East-West Seed Myanmar Knowledge Transfer Activities - Dec 2016

On behalf of East-West Seed Myanmar we would like to present you the monthly updates of the knowledge transfer activities. These consist of our training plan, field days and current demonstration farms. Being part a the chain that focuses on (rural) development in Myanmar, we welcome you to learn more about our activities. Training (click to jump down to our training plan) Depending on the topic, our local staff facilitates a training session where a group of farmers are given the opportunity to ask questions, discuss subjects and learn from the trainers and each other. The training topics are linked to the growth stages of the demonstrations. Field day (click to jump down to our field day plan) One to three days per crop cycle, the local staff invites all the farmers from the area to learn, review and discuss the improved techniques applied in a successful field. It is an open, informal, event where cost and return benefits are also highlighted. Demonstration farm (click to jump down to our demonstration farms) These farms are out there, open for any farmer to learn about the different improved techniques. Key farmers and local staff are welcoming visitors to come and learn! Contact Due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. rainfall) the dates are subject to change. Therefore, we would advise you to contact our Myanmar staff in case you would like to visit or join one of the activities.
