EdAgri supports the Centre of Excellence in Horticulture and Agricultural Technologies in Kaul (CEHTA) to improve training in two specialties: “Horticulture” and “Technology of plant products”. To this end, EdAgri is expanding practical training opportunities in vegetable and fruit growing. A second greenhouse will be built to allow the production of a wider variety of crops and seedlings, including grafting. Similarly, an open field vegetable teaching field will be created.

In another line of activity, EdAgri is launching an invitation to experts and specialised institutions to support the application of new production technologies in the college’s teaching fields. Within these mini-projects research institutes, companies, NGOs or independent experts will support the college in implementing and documenting new technologies. In this way, CEHTA will become a centre where a multitude of new methods are applied, becoming a base where farmers can learn more about modern methods of vegetable and fruit production.

All this will be done in close coordination with anyone who can provide qualified support to the college. To make CEHTA a more attractive partner for other projects and supporters, EdAgri will also strengthen the institution’s organisational capacity. This will mean additional staff, management inputs, and entrepreneurial courses for managers and staff. Finally, EdAgri will help improve the infrastructure of some of the hostel’s guest rooms. Thus, experts and trainers will stay for short periods of time to work in Kaul.
