FAO provides agricultural assistance packages to disaster-struck farmers
The FAO assistance packages to flood-affected farming families comprised a provision of crop seeds, fruit tree saplings, canes, fertilizer, livestock and animal feed, farming equipment and beehives, as well as the construction of greenhouses and organization of disaster risk reduction and climate change in agriculture workshops.
“The EU donation meant a lot to all farmers in the area, regardless of what kind of support and assistance package they received,” beneficiary Jovan Petrovic states.
In autumn and winter 2014 and 2015, FAO sourced and delivered fruit saplings and canes to around 2 000 farms in 30 Serbian municipalities. Over 2 million plum, cherry, sour cherry, raspberry and blackberry saplings and canes were planted in selected farmers’ orchards throughout the country, for a total value of 1.2 million euros.
