Produktbeschreibung
To exploit the growing opportunities for commercial production of vegetables, the farmers need to change their production system from more subsistence level operation towards more market oriented production. Marketing extension service can facilitate the transition to semi-commercial and, finally, to commercial production systems.

It is debatable whether the public extension in the District is playing these expected roles and, in the first place, has the required capacity to do so in terms of staff, structure, process and incentive and reward systems.
