EDKK Project Beneficiaries Learned about New Achievements in Berry
Production and Realization



“Look and Learn” is a new campaign of EDKK project, that aims to raise
awareness of beneficiary-farmers with trainings, meetings and visiting Demo
Plots. Through the campaign, there was a first activity in Gurjaani city,
where project beneficiaries attended the meeting about berry planting,
producing and selling. Georgian Berry Growers’ Association organized the
activity. Besides RDFG project beneficiaries, the representatives of
Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia and USAID/REAP project, Serbian expert
and members of Berry Growers’ Association participated in the event. Lali
Goginava, EDKK project expert and the doctor-professor in fruit-growing
field also attended the meeting.



In the framework of the meeting, there was a presentation of new species of
raspberries, blackberries and strawberries and the participants shared their
experience in pruning specifics and realization of berries. They also
visited Isolda Kitesashvili’s Demo Plot, where Nebojsa Momirovic, Serbian
expert demonstrated new technique of berry pruning.



“The meeting was very informative and important for EDKK beneficiaries. They
met other berry growers, shared each other’s experience and learned about
new achievements in berry production and realization. Besides, meeting
foreign expert in berry growing and gaining new contacts was important for
them, as they can get new information and share experience in the future as
well”. – mentioned Lali Goginava, EDKK project expert.



Out of 16 Demonstration plots, created through the EDKK project, berries
were planted in 10 of them. Beneficiaries already received and marketed
their first harvest. Currently, in the framework of the project there is a
selection process to create new Demo Plots.



The main objective of the project Economic Development through Agricultural
Assistance for IDP Farmers in Kvemo Kartli and Kakheti regions (EDKK) is to
contribute to the poverty reduction and the social inclusion of the IDP
families in Georgia focusing on creation of a strong and competitive rural
production, processing and marketing sector that contributes to the economic
development and employment. To reach its goals, Demo plots are created –
this is a plot in the possession of beneficiaries, that are equipped by a
modern agricultural technologies and enables them to get involved in
agricultural process and to harvest.

and Development (BMZ) and supported by World Vision Germany.
