A training program has been launched through a partnership between KOMEK, the Türkiye Maarif Foundation, the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye in Togo and the University of Lomé.
As part of the initiative, KOMEK is providing University of Lomé students in the Togolese capital of Lomé with training in “Vegetable Cultivation and Modern Production Techniques in Togo.”
The program is delivered by Agricultural Engineer Muhammet Özen and has 34 university students enrolled.
The 120-hour course combines theoretical instruction with practical training.
TRAINING COVERS ALL STAGES OF VEGETABLE PRODUCTION
The curriculum provides comprehensive instruction in the production of high-quality vegetable seedlings, soil preparation, seedling transplantation, irrigation methods, plant nutrition and fertilization, crop maintenance techniques, pest and disease control, harvesting, post-harvest storage and marketing.
Students have the opportunity to put their classroom knowledge into practice through hands-on activities in designated training areas. The program aims to familiarize them with modern vegetable cultivation techniques and strengthen their professional skills.
KOMEK CONTINUES VOCATIONAL TRAINING AT HOME AND ABROAD
Alongside its vocational training programs in Türkiye, KOMEK continues to offer courses in various fields internationally.
Marking KOMEK’s first agricultural training initiative for students at the University of Lomé, the program also expands international educational partnerships to include the exchange of agricultural knowledge and expertise.
Through this collaboration extending from Konya to Togo, the initiative aims to share agricultural knowledge and experience, equip young people with modern production techniques and strengthen their professional skills through practical training.
