The project would also develop and strengthen cooperatives and private entrepreneurs to establish income generating Seri enterprises/cottage industries at rural areas, the embassy stated.
The project would also help in the production of silk worm eggs, farm management, procurement and promotion of cocoons produced by the farmers, the embassy stated adding that the programme would benefit families of around 1,000 farmers.
The Counterpart Fund was established through the financial assistance extended by the government of Japan to increase agriculture production under KR2 (the grant assistance for underprivileged farmers).
