Today, Kilimo Trust Rwanda, in collaboration with @RwandaAgriBoard, is hosting a training session on Irish potato seed multiplication at Fatima Hotel in @MusanzeDistrict.
The session is designed for farmers from cooperatives who are benefiting from the Kungahara project, which is funded by the @EU_Commission and @rikolto Son.
This seeks to improve the quality and quantity of Irish potato production in Rwanda's north-western region.

It was an incredible experience to be featured alongside Ghanaian indoor hydroponic farmer Adelaide Naa Okpoti in the Youth Unmoderated Podcast organised by @FAO during the #YouthConnekt Africa Summit.
This summit truly embodies the spirit of connecting and empowering young Africans, and the podcast gave us a space to openly share our entrepreneurial journeys—no script, no host; just real, unfiltered dialogue.
I’ll be back soon with the link to our podcast episode. Stay tuned!
Special thanks to Food and Agriculture Organizations of United Nations and @EAMGtv 🙏.
