| The project facilitated the establishment of 30 cooperative associations and 6 cluster unions to mobilize all stakeholders in crop and livestock production in order to optimize their roles in the crop-livestock commodity chain. It also promoted a new initiative that encouraged movement away from the conventional exclusive dependence on an extensive system of livestock raising, to a more intensive one that promotes fixed-place ranches for increased cattle production and more efficient cattle marketing. Crop and livestock farmers also had their capacities built through a series of training and workshops on cattle fattening, breeding, rearing, health maintenance, meat processing, and meat products, preparation of supplementary feeds, crop production, and marketing. |
