Over 100 young graduates have landed an 11-month internship training placement at the Agro Studies International Centre for Agricultural Interns in Israel, a development that will
support government’s efforts to strengthen the agriculture sector.
The training will mainly focus on vegetable and fruit farming, plant protection, soil conservation, irrigation techniques, advanced agriculture under international standards, computer economics, project planning and post-harvest, Dr Gerardine Mukeshimana, the Minister for Agriculture and Animal Resources, noted.
“Take advantage of the internship because this is how you will gather ideas and experience that will revolutionise the country’s agriculture sector, particularly the horticulture industry, when you come back home,” Mukeshimana said while meeting the group before they left the country early this week.
The programme has so far benefited 120 young graduates since 2012.
