Farmers in Champasak and Xekong provinces have been empowered through vegetable growing training. A five-day training course on vegetable farming techniques concluded on August 14 in Pakxong district, Champasak province. The programme, organised by the southern agriculture training sector, aimed to strengthen the capacity of local farmers from eight villages across the two provinces. During the course, participants gained practical knowledge in integrated pest management, organic fertiliser production, irrigation systems, and post-harvest handling. The curriculum also covered Good Agricultural Practices and production planning. Speaking at the closing ceremony, Head of the Sector, Mr Sophasad Mounthisen, commended the farmers for their active participation and encouraged them to apply their new skills to improve productivity and livelihoods. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and food security in southern Laos. |
