Milestones Achieved Milestone Description Competency Assessment of Target Beneficiaries. Deliverables Objective measures (specific pre- and post training analysis) of change in awareness and competency levels of research and extension workers, farmers and private sector input suppliers and marketers) in 1. Potential and practices of improved vegetable production with low pesticide use and observance of withholding periods The level of safe vegetable production and farmer skills in the application of pesticides, record keeping, modern agronomic techniques, marketing and postharvest skills was low. Refer to the initial farmer survey report submitted with milestone 3. By the completion of the project, farmer skills have improved significantly to the point where they can now successfully grow and supply commercial quantities of high-quality vegetable crops with pesticide residues below legal requirements for safe human consumption. Evidence will be presented in milestone 11 with the final pesticide residue and farmer survey reports, however the capability of farmers to regularly supply 50 – 100 tonnes of cabbage and watermelon to modern retail markets in Hanoi from the Nghe An region is convincing evidence that project objectives have been achieved. Photographs of successful crop production, harvesting, packaging and marketing are included with this milestone report.
