Lesotho Competitiveness and Financial Inclusion Project in collaboration with Lesotho National Farmers\u2019 Association (LENAFU) will equip farmers with skills to increase fruit production.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Business Development and Tourism Senior Public Relations Officer Ms. \u2018<\/span>Mantletse\u00a0Maile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ms\u00a0<\/span>Maile\u00a0indicated that they intend to train farmers so they can have skills to meet the needs of Basotho by ensuring that they make fruits available to stop importing them and grow the economy of Lesotho.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also pointed out that funds are available to meet the needs of farmers and increase fruit production in the country. She said that the event would be held in\u00a0<\/span>Hlotse\u00a0this week is expected to attract farmers\u2019 representatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ms\u00a0<\/span>Maile\u00a0highlighted that during the training, they will have a tour at\u00a0Mahobong\u00a0Fruit Production Farms where farmers will learn more about the experiences of those who produce fruits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lesotho Apple Growers had shipped about 30 bins to South Africa in the early 2022. This was equivalent to 90,000.000 Top Red and Golden Delicious apples.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The apples are products of the World Bank programme aimed at strengthening the country\u2019s private sector through high-value, high-potential value chains such as\u00a0<\/span>nature-based\u00a0tourism and horticulture with a focus on\u00a0deciduous\u00a0fruit production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project first started in 2006 and locally it has sold to Shoprite, Game, and Pick n\u2019 Pay stores. It is sponsored by the World Bank as well as the government of Lesotho.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n
