Pigtrop - the information center about pig production and pork meat commodity chains in developing countries

Beneficiary group

Direct beneficiaries. The Agricultural Association (AA) “A. Odainic” was created in 2000 and enumerates 36 members, including 23 women of 28-45 years old, who rent/work 100 ha of land. The main activities of the AA “A. Odaininc” are raising sheep (50 at the moment) and pigs (10 at the moment). Apart from that, the Association works with the agricultural crop: wheat, corn, oat, etc.

Indirect beneficiaries. The reorganization of the farm will lead to the creation of the new job places: women will be involved in taking care of animals, even elderly will have the possibility to take part in the project since products processing could be fulfilled by less working population. Apart from the above, a certain amount of the processed products will be sold to the poorest with a reduced price.

Objective of the Project

The objective of the project is to provide inputs in order to increase the production of sheep and pigs, as well as to involve as many village residents as possible by that increasing their life level
