BUTAJIRA The United Nations World Food Programme has handed over five pre-fabricated warehouses to cooperative unions in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, one of Ethiopias largest grain-producing areas, as part of WFPs Purchase for Progress initiative . "These new warehouses will help cooperative unions reduce post-harvest losses, and also to order more maize from smallholder farmers and thus encourage them to increase their production," said WFP Deputy Country Director Pascal Joannes, who handed over the keys to the warehouses this week to representatives of the five cooperative unions.
