The agriculture department of La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly has trained a number of women’s groups in the processing of various grains, vegetables and fruit juices to help improve the nutritional well-being of their households and to strengthen their income generation capacities.

The training included extensions services through home, field visits organise farmer and staff trainings, and linking farmer based organisations to the needed service providers.

The municipal director of agriculture, Mrs Emelia Monney said that the training has become necessary to empower women in the municipality to contribute into the local economy. She said the initiative would go a long way to change their stories in the years ahead.

Some of the trainees thanked the management for initiative and called for wider publicity to attract a lot of citizenry to get the training. They said when this is done women in the municipality can take good care of their homes.
