ARF-3 final factsheet: Dyegrain project in Benin

“Promoting dye sorghum cultivation in Benin (Dyegrain)” is a Food & Business Applied Research Fund (ARF) project which received funding in the third ARF Call.

ARF projects tackle challenges related to Food and Nutrition Security and private sector development in the 15 partner countries of Dutch development cooperation. They all stem from the knowledge and innovation needs of farmers, practitioners and policymakers. The research-driven innovations support new tools and technologies for Food and Nutrition Security that should ultimately benefit the world’s most vulnerable people, especially women and children.

This ARF project has been finalized. In this factsheet the consortium shares its final research findings: farmers have successfully cultivated dye sorghum crop on a commercial basis and Leman Sarl, the private partner of the research project, purchased a total of 1800 Kg of fresh leaves for international trade.
