Under the USAID/DAI Bangladesh Agricultural Value Chains (AVC) project, CDCS® conducted a Training of Trainers (ToT) program for agribusinesses on intercropping in mango orchards, promoting sustainable and profitable farming practices.
The initiative empowered local agribusinesses and extension agents to guide farmers in integrating complementary crops within mango orchards, leading to income diversification and improved land utilization. By enabling farmers to generate additional earnings while mango trees matured, the program helped reduce economic vulnerability and enhanced household resilience.
Through a sustainable knowledge transfer model, CDCS® built long-term local capacity—ensuring that intercropping practices continue to benefit farmers, strengthen agribusiness networks, and support environmentally sound agricultural growth across southern Bangladesh.
