Description
The INTSORMIL Production-Marketing Project, with support from USAID’s Africa regional program and in collaboration with national programs, local NGOs and farmers’ organization in Mali, Niger and Senegal introduced new technology and marketing strategies to over 400 sorghum farmers. Famers in the program made income gains from both increased yield and increased prices. The Production-Marketing Project provides feedback to scientists to assist them with developing more effective technologies to increase yield and income.
