Although this association owns 70 hectares of arable land, it has not been able to cultivate it due to limited resources.
Within the scope of the project implemented by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) to support agriculture in the region, fertilizers, irrigation systems and agricultural equipment were provided to the members of the cooperative, which has about 100 members.
At the ceremony of handing over the supplies, the Turkish ambassador to Abidjan, “Yunca Gunduz Ozgiri,” confirmed that the agricultural equipment, fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation systems provided by TIKA to the cooperative will contribute to supporting the economy in the region.
She indicated that the project will directly and positively affect the people of the region and will support relations between the two countries.
