RE: Capacity Building & Hass Avocado Seedling Distribution for the Smallholder Farmers
Project
Dear Ms. ==============
Tamnasera Agricultural PLC is pleased to present this proposal for your review. We look forward to
partnering with you to provide a Capacity Building & Hass Avocado Seedling Distribution for the
smallholder farmers intervention program for our smallholder farmers with poor avocado production
skills to Succeed Capacity Building & Hass Avocado Seedling Distribution has over 5,000 of which 50% is
women and unemployed young women. The objective of the project is to help our farmers with poor
avocado production skills to cultivate and produce avocados and increase their productivity and income
generation.

During the last year, we have been piloting the distribution of Hass avocado seedlings with a small group
of farmers unable to access improved seedlings and have seen dramatic improvements with most of the
small group farmers increasing their avocado farm coverage ability. This pilot distribution provides
farmers with access to productive scion stock for further avocado gritting. We have seen measurable
success and we are now seeking to expand our Capacity Building & Hass Avocado Seedling Distribution
for the smallholder farmers Project to address the needs of all the selected avocado producers in Cheha
and adjacent woreda. Our proposal requests $ 292,182 in funding to obtain the software, hardware, and
training necessary to equip the Capacity Building & Hass Avocado Seedling Distribution resource room
with the assistive activities systems. We appreciate Giz Ethiopia taking an interest in helping our
avocado farmers develop their cultivation and production skills through our new project Please give me
a call at 09-11-30-06-50 if you require any further information or have any questions concerning this
proposal.

Thank you
