Ten days workshop conducted by Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture for Hulhumeedhoo farmers ended last night

A ten day workshop conducted by Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture to educate and train famers about various diseases of crops and steps toward diseases-resist crops ended last night. “This workshop is organized by the ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture in association with Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo Offices on request by Hulhumeedhoo farmers during the minister’s visit to meet with them last December” said Mr. Mohamed Aslam, the course coordinator.

Speaking about the farmer’s participation in such a workshop, Mr. Mohamed Aslam said that it was ‘satisfactory’. “Initially 38 farmers turned up for the first day of the workshop, 28 of them got registered and only 18 of them completed the workshop”, said Aslam. According to Aslam lot of people, irresponsible of their field, attend these sorts of workshops.

However farmers who completed the workshop were very optimistic. “The workshop was essential for us, we came to know many things we would otherwise had no idea about”, said Mohamed Shareef. Shareef further said, “I gained more knowledge and techniques in this workshop than the previous course I had attended last year”.

Meedhoo is an agricultural island for decades however Hulhudhoo people started engaging in agriculture recently. A number of vegetables and fruits are grown in these two islands alone. Most of the locally grown products are Cucumber, Cabbage, Tomato, Chili, Watermelon, Banana etc. There is a greater scope for Hulhumeedhoo farmers to sell their products to the rest of Addu. Today Fuvahmula farmers are using the opportunity to keep up the supply of vegetable products to meet ever growing demand for them in Addu.

The opportunity to enter into this market is still open for the Hulhumeedhoo farmers, but only if they work as a group and go for specialization. When one farm cultivates Tomato the other must grow Cucumber and so on. This cartel would benefit all the members within it and each one would contribute tones of vegetables collectively to the market weekly. If this practice is followed there is opportunity for them to stay in market.
