The grant is in! Monday was exciting as we tied up all loose ends to submit the horticulture grant to USAID. We literally drove and walked the proposal documents into the USAID office at the US Embassy.
We will find out mid- to late-August if we were successful in our proposal. Til then, I am moving forward with my work where I will return to the field to focus on three main areas across the tomato, avocado, and pineapple markets: (1) Yield, (2) Production, and (3) Price.
If anyone reading (all 3 of you) knows much about the impact of 1gm of fertilizer on a tomato crop in over-worked soil, how much land could be under cultivation in Iringa region, and how prices are determined and change in informal markets, please let me know! :)
