Sunflower
This grant project is given to a local CBO for planting sunflowers and some fruit trees in the abandoned land to support the surrounding ecosystem and livelihoods of the community. A local community group dealing with milk cooling is intents to re-use water disposed of after cooling for watering sunflowers and some fruit trees. 3.5ha area was fenced and over 2500 fruit seedlings and sunflowers were planted in there for the first year. The field protection forest belt was established. The survival rate was about 70 %. There were built a deep well and a service house for workers with support of Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
