The event was conducted for the 6th year in a row and has become an annual tradition.



This year the field days were held in 3 different sites and regions, in order to increase the number of participants in each region, without requiring them to travel more than 500 km. Hundreds of farmers from the different parts of Ethiopia took part in these field days.

  3. Field day for the Harari Region in Eastern Ethiopia

Mr. Jawadat Badawieh, Commercial Business Unit Manager – Middle East & Africa, and Green Life PLC’s agronomist displayed to growers the varieties the company has developed especially for open field cultivation. They also conducted tours of the fields, enabling participants to see the varieties closely and learn about their growing conditions, yield potentials and the disease resistance of the varieties. The varieties shown during the open days included tomatoes, onions, peppers, cabbages, watermelons, sweet melons and lettuces – using different methods of crop cultivation.

Brochures and booklets providing explanations and information about the varieties registered in Ethiopia were distributed.

In addition, we provided farmers with vital know-how about cultivation, fertilizing etc.

All the guests attending the event were very pleased and satisfied with the open field days, which offered them valuable information, experience and an introduction to begin growing the varieties.
