CNFA Organizes an Open Discussion on Agriculture

CNFA makes its points. September 17, 2008. More than 30 stakeholders representing various segments of Belarusian agriculture, from farmers to government agencies, took part in a September 17 conference entitled "Diversification of Capital and the Development of Agricultural Production." The event was sponsored by the Citizens Network for Foreign Affairs (CNFA) and hosted by the Kuniavsky Business Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (BUEE).  The event was a forum for those willing to express their opinion on the current state of Belarusian agriculture. CNFA implements a Farmer-to-Farmer program, whose role in Belarus has been to increase the incomes of private farms and employees and to establish models of successful private enterprise throughout the country.  To date, the program has implemented about 70 volunteer assignments in Belarus aimed at promoting modern production practices and teaching farmers to make educated and timely business decisions.  Most of the assistance has largely been concentrated in the areas of dairy management and production, feeds and forage development, perennial grass production, and livestock management.  The conference wrapped up the current phase of the CNFA Agribusiness Volunteer Program in Belarus.
