Our Agriculture Production program aims to promote and enhance local agricultural productivity and food security by improving the diversity and suitability of crop varieties produced locally. Furthermore, our program strives to enhance the CNMI’s livestock production capacity and quality by demonstrating and evaluating improved management systems. Our program’s combined Research and Extension also aims to enhance local plant and animal management systems by promoting sustainability and demonstrating best farming practices.
Our program’s goals are:
- Improve and increase production efficiency
- Introduce and enhance pest control methods for undesirable agricultural pests
- Promote sustainable agricultural systems in the CNMI
- Improve and enhance agricultural production and crop diversity in the CNMI, therefore decreasing 1% of imported fresh commodities
