The objective was to generate recommendations for enhancing the contribution of the bean seed sector to food security. <\/p><p>In her address, the Senior Chief Executive of the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security, Mrs Moheenee Nathoo, recalled that this regional project which is coordinated regionally by the CIRAD is funded by the European Union and benefits from the support of the PREASN project led by SANOI for the period 2021-2025. She remarked that beans are effective source of protein, vitamins and minerals and are widely consumed in Mauritius. <\/p><p>She added that the importation of pulses amounts to 13 000 tons to the tune of Rs. 390.7 million and that 80% of our demand for beans seeds is imported. She highlighted that with the increase in the costs of imports, inter alia, it is important that we boost up production of bean seeds locally in order to cater for our local needs. <\/p><p>The Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Micheline Seenevassen Pillay recalled that the Ministry together with FAREI celebrated the international say of pulses during which emphasis was laid on beans which represent only 9% of our requirements of pulses.<\/p><p>Mrs Pillay emphasised that FAREI has introduced more than 200 varieties of beans and released a biofortified bean variety Ferrina which is rich in iron and zinc. This variety has been found to be promising for cultivation locally. She informed that some 350 kg of its seeds have been produced in collaboration with the Agricultural Services and that some seeds have been given to Comoros and Seychelles for testing..<\/p><p>During the workshop, the findings of the bean seed value chain were validated and after a brainstorming session an action plan was devised to increase the production of bean seed to reach a minimum of 2 tonnes annually by end of 2025.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-31acb5b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31acb5b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b50ee1d\" data-id=\"b50ee1d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dca597e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dca597e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 18-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-07-14-at-10.28.53.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2705\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-07-14-at-10.28.53.jpeg 959w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-07-14-at-10.28.53-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-07-14-at-10.28.53-768x548.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d5a068\" data-id=\"9d5a068\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0c3e5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0c3e5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2703\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/farei.mu\/farei2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC07234-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 13th July 2023, FAREI organised a restitution workshop in connection to bean seeds in the bean value chain in Mauritius, at the Voil\u00e0 Hotel in Bagatelle.
