Future Farmers Rural Programme (FFRP)

The Future Farmers Rural Programme (FFRP) seeks to improve crop productivity through innovative and organic farming techniques. It focuses on young farmers and women throughout the region.

Farmer's Groups

The core of FFRP is the farmer group, a self-organized group of 15 farmers from a local community.

Each group meets twice per month to plan and execute activities. These can include trainings, communal labor welfare assistance , or assistance in solving domestic problems.

Budgeting

Farmer's groups are required to develop an annual work plan and budget to receive support from SEISUD for their activities and training. Each group contributes monthly membership dues, to augment what they will receive from SEISUD. They are, further, required to open a bank account in order to maintain clear record-keeping and for any transfer of money into the account.

Status

There are twelve active farmer's groups across three (3) communities (Sirigu, Yua, and Natugnia) including four very new ones which we intend to develop and work with them also.
