A modular farm for cultivating food products for export has started operating in the Vinnytsia region. Vinnytsia scientists are developing new production technologies with high economic efficiency to increase the productivity of local agricultural enterprises. In addition to cultivating vegetable crops, farmers have built a new modular farm to raise snails. The new products are already being prepared for export to Spain, France, and Lithuania. Despite the war and difficulties with transportation, Ukrainian snails are in demand on the European market. The Ukrainian snail business is not new; exports are increasing yearly, and farms are starting their own processing operations. According to the results of 2023 alone, Ukraine exported 946 tons of shellfish, 47.6% more than the year before ($5.2M, +73.3%). The main buyers of Ukrainian shellfish last year were Lithuania (61.8%), Spain (26.6%), Poland (4.9%), Greece, and Georgia. In the first quarter of 2024, Ukraine exported 217 tons of shellfish (+110% compared to the same period in 2022). https://lnkd.in/dn74fb5f

❓✅🙋♂️Want to know about Irish mushroom production? Read by the link the whole interview on UMDIS by Maksym Yenchenko - with mushroom adviser from Teagasc ✅Donal Gernon revealed that there are currently 32 mushroom farms in Republic of Ireland, that belong to 28 individual growers, as some own multiple farms. In Northern Ireland another 12 farms operate. The number of growers and production units has declined over the past decade as small farms ceased production, while larger farms continued to expand to ensure they remained sustainable. ✅All growers in Ireland, both north and south, are part of producer organizations. These organizations enable growers to access grant money for machinery and equipment. EU subsidizes 50% of new equipment cost.

It takes two to mango - The first shipment of Kent mangoes from the Peruvian Casma region is approaching Holland! As previously mentioned, the effects of El Niño have significantly impacted the availability of this product, with only 5 to 15% of mango growers able to harvest their crops. We are pleased that there is still product available, enabling us to provide income to local farmers. Nonetheless, it's important to be aware that the Peruvian mango season will shrink in the coming years due to the ongoing effects of El Niño. Market understanding and collaboration are crucial as we seek alternatives and adapt to ensure the resilience of Peruvian mango farming. When interested in our product offer, do not hesitate to contact Stephan Schoemaker or Friso Sterk. They can provide you with more product information =) #Fairtrasa #organicfruit #sustainablefarming #mango #smallholders

Nurseries in the world's top olive oil producing country are running out of olive tree seedlings. 'While recently published data show that the olive-growing surface area in Spain continued to increase in 2023, nurseries across the southern autonomous community of Andalusia are having trouble meeting demand for new olive tree seedlings. In a new report, Spain’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food said olive cultivation rose to 2,788,084 hectares in 2023, an increase of 0.73 percent compared to last year, slightly above the average for all woody crops.' https://hubs.li/Q02stn-x0

🍈 Modern methods of potato cultivation 👉 Selection of potato varieties Potato varieties cultivated in Bangladesh are indigenous varieties and high yielding improved varieties. At present, 65 percent of the total #land under potato cultivation is cultivated with advanced varieties of potatoes and 35 percent with native varieties of potatoes. 👉Production method #Farmers in #Bangladesh adopt different methods for potato #production. But they are not scientific. So if you cultivate in a scientific way, on the one hand, the farmer will benefit, on the other hand, the yield will also increase. 👉#Soil selection Sandy loam soils are most suitable for #potato cultivation. 👉Production season In Bangladesh, potatoes cannot usually be planted before November, because land preparation is not possible before then. If potato is planted after November, the yield is reduced. For this, Madhya-Kartik (first week of November) in northern region, Agrahayan 1st week to 2nd week (mid to last week of November) in southern region. 👉Seed rate 1.5 tonnes per hectare. Planting distance is 60x25 cm. Mr. (whole potato) and 45x15 cm. Mr. (cut potatoes). #potato #modernfarming #healthy #food #market #ECOCONS #GARGY #SweetPkin #greenlife #freenlife #farmerMe #grass #greengrass #farm #digital_farmers

What are we as a country doing wrong exactly? The Agriculture sector makes up a large chunk of the work force in Namibia(about 70%),it has potential to do so much more for us. Image the amount of farmers who are panicking about the numbers of their cattle herds this year due to drought especially in Northern Namibia,this is a nerve wrecking time for them. The nation at large is also in need of food for drought relief. Why not help farmers reduce the numbers of their herds by buying beef from them as a government? We could even dry the meat in order to preserve it and distribute it as drought relief but couldthis onlybe limited to meat?Instead we choose to import food instead of putting that money into the local economy. The fact that local Avocado production could save us N$ 16 million is something that shouldn't be slept on,but it also makes one think...what else could we produce ourselves?

🍅 Tomato Cultivation Method 👉 Tomatoes can be grown in all types of soil, but fertile loamy soils are most suitable. However, with proper care, #tomatoes grow well in all soils from sandy loam to atel loam. 👉Last week of Kartik to first week of Agrahayana (last week of October to first week of November) is the right time to #plant tomato seedlings. 👉Day temperature of 25 to 30 degrees Celsius and night temperature of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius are required for good yield of tomatoes. 👉So winter is the perfect time for tomato cultivation in #Bangladesh. #tomato #modernfarming #healthy #food #market #tomatoplant #tomatosauce #tomatogarden #tomatogrowing #tomatosalad #modernfarming #healthy #food #market #SweetPkin #greenlife #freenlife #farmerMe #grass #greengrass #farm #digital_farmers

Farm Tales Irish potato sampling before harvest!!☘️🥔🍟 This is me and a farm manager, inside Mau-Narok Forest sampling potatoes. The farmer want the potatoes harvested the next day. But I want the potatoes in two weeks time. #potatoharvesting I get to the farm and my first observation is that the farm is still green, although the farmer argues the potatoes have reached maturity. Why would I be concerned about the farm being green? 1️⃣Well, it would mean that the tuber skin are not well hardened, making them prone to external injury and bruises , and if harvested, they would easily be pricked by pests. 2️⃣Additionally, the dry matter content of the potatoes may not have reached maximum period. This the potatoes if processed, would mean taking longer to dry, or fry etc. 3️⃣The storage of search potatoes would be a very delicate activity, especially if we have rotten or cuts. 4️⃣A very serious sorting and grading procedure would need to take place, to ensure, there are zero chances of mixing them with good quality tubers. #postharvestlosses As an Agronomist I take it to my hands to inform the farmer, why they need to dehaulm the farm before harvest. #capacitybiulding As a buyer: I need to send a sample to Nairobi for quality assessment. The formal and informal market works differently. Eg. We have to try and process the crisping variety and see how the final product will be. All this is new to the farmer.#quality #potatoes The owner of the farm is a high school principal. He is influential in the society. I try and get his farm records. Which obviously, can't be produced. #farming We talk about prices, and he agrees that if I want to take the potatoes in two weeks time, I should give a price that will not change even if the market price changes. Anyway, we don't agree but in business everyone has to win. Mzizi CropSoko Technologies Limited #marketflactuation #informalmarket #formalmarket #potatoprices
