Systems Agronomist Veronica Uzokwe leads the discussion with partners.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nACAI has been doing research to develop a suite of agronomy advice tools to help improve cassava intensification, productivity, and production targeting smallholder farmers through cassava value chain actors.\n\nACAI project activities coordinator for East Africa,\u00a0Veronica NE Uzokwe<\/a>\u00a0and ACAI colleagues met with Yara Tanzania Head of Agronomy Mr Peter Assey on 21 May to review potential areas where Yara can intervene specifically for validation and dissemination activities of the ACAI project.\n\nThe ACAI team provided Yara with background information on potential areas for engagement with the ACAI project. They highlighted the importance of encouraging cassava growers to use fertilizers for cassava production to increase productivity and household income.\n\nThe discussions were a follow up on the initial meeting between the two teams in April in which the partnership was agreed. ACAI project Leader,\u00a0Pieter Pypers<\/a>\u00a0who led the previous meeting said the partnership with Yara is a great opportunity to diversify and tailor the ACAI DSTs to meet the needs of the farmers at the grassroots level. ACAI monitoring and evaluation specialist Theresa Ampadu-Boakye also participated in the discussions.\n\nIn a letter expressing interest to be part of the project dissemination activities, Assey said the company will incorporate ACAI recommendations in their short code messaging services.\n\n\u201cWe are confident that the project will contribute to strengthening cassava production in Tanzania,\u201d wrote Assey.\n\nThe partnership will enhance the reach and impact of the ACAI agronomy advice tools in the areas where Yara already has operation networks beyond the project areas of intervention. ACAI, on the other hand, will provide tailored recommendations for fertilizer blends for specific locations to improve the effectiveness of the fertilizer sold by Yara in Tanzania for cassava growers.\n\nUzokwe termed the partnership between ACAI and Yara a masterstroke at combining precision research with wide dissemination platforms for the benefit of smallholder farmers.\n\n\u201cWe shall achieve the expectations of the cassava growers for site-specific recommendations and promote relevant and appropriate use in cassava farming through this partnership,\u201d said Uzokwe.\n\nACAI will share with Yara the planned activities for the validation of the DSTs and dissemination of the tools at grassroots level later in the year. Yara will incorporate ACAI DSTs, especially the Fertilizer Recommendation (FR) and Fertilizer Blending (FB) tools.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
