Soil training

Soil training for Vanuatu’s Agriculture Extension Officers

Whilst the EOs are working with local farmers to promote the agriculture sector, it is also vital for the officers to gain knowledge on the different types of soils and its nutrients as mass production of crops rely heavily on soils.

“This training is important as the EO will be able to access basic important information that will assist them to know more about their soils as soils control the growth of crops so that they can help their farmers to produce good yield,” Acting Soil Agronomist, Junior Salong said.
