Embrapa offers training on cashew farming for multiplier agents

Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical will provide a training cycle for technicians from the States of Ceará, Piauí, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte. Classes will take place remotely, through a digital platform whose access will only be available to registered participants. The themes have priority audiences for each state. However, this does not prevent students from other states from participating as long as there are places available. Registration link available here.

The action is part of the project "Transfer of agro-industrial technologies from cashew farming projects". Trainings will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in September and October, from 18pm to 19:30pm. Check the dates, themes, trainers and priority (but not exclusive) audiences:
