As part of their Producer-Led Project, Agri Evolve have been planning out the construction of a new seedling nursery that will result in 5000 SL14 seedlings for local farmers.
This coming week the SL14 seeds will be planted in a seed bed that has been prepared within the community it will supply. A group of farmers have been selected by Agri Evolve to tend to these seedlings as they grow, and these same farmers will be the recipients of the young coffee trees.
It will take about 2 months for germination of the seeds to complete, during which time the nursery bed and shelter will be constructed, along with potting bags for each seed to be transferred into. The seedlings will likely be ready for distribution to farmers sometime in September of this year.
