50th Anniversary of Agronomic Research in Mauritania
Open Days
Kaedi, November 26-27, 2024
In recent years, Mauritania’s agricultural sector has shifted toward food self-sufficiency by 2030. Given its catalytic role, the National Center for Agronomic Research and Agricultural Development (CNRADA) has received support from various financial and technical partners, providing resources to address the agricultural sector’s major challenges.
Beyond its core activities in research and agricultural production promotion, CNRADA has strengthened its operational capacity significantly. It now offers quality seed production and conservation structures, alongside enhanced crop protection techniques. Improvements have also been made in irrigation, soil mapping and analysis, and precision agriculture.
