The Farm

The Afrisem breeding farm is situated in Arusha, Tanzania.

..


The farm has 20 ha of land with fertile topsoil. In the near future the station will have an office, a workshop and proper personnel facilities. The seed storage and evaluation facilities will be of a high standard.

The irrigation is designed in such a way that on the whole farm drip, sprinkler, furrow and basin irrigation are possible. This way the local farmer’s situation can be simulated without compromising uniformity.

To avoid wasting breeding time, several temporary greenhouses have been installed.

Furthermore, a demonstration farm will be established to show the surrounding farmers our newest varieties and latest technologies...
