The Farm
The Afrisem breeding farm is situated at Dolly Estate, USA River, near Arusha, Tanzania.
The farm comprises 20 hectares of land with fertile topsoil. The station has an office, a workshop and staff facilities as well as a seed storage area, product evaluation facilities and a greenhouse closed for insects for crossing and seed production.
The irrigation has been designed in such a way that drip, sprinkler, furrow and basin irrigation are possible anywhere on the farm. This allows a local farmer’s situation to be simulated without uniformity being compromised.
