Farmers from Xieng Khuang, Borikhamxay and Vientiane provinces join officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for a photo at the close of a training course titled “Establishment of farmer organisations for income generation fund management with Saemaul Gemgo approach, under the project for rural development in northern and central Laos”. The course took place from September 22-27 at the Laos-Korea Rural Development Training Centre, supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA. The establishment of farmer organisations under the Saemaul Geumgo approach boosts income generation and fund management by promoting community cooperation and self-help. |
This model encourages rural farmers to pool their resources, facilitating access to credit and financial services, which are crucial for agricultural investment. It also fosters leadership development and capacity building, empowering farmers to make informed decisions and improve productivity. |
