A three-month agricultural mechanization training program for youths from Pujehun District commenced on Monday, January 27, 2025, in Port Loko.
The initiative, facilitated by FM Investment, aims to equip participants with the skills needed to operate modern farming machinery.
The training covers the operation of tractors, power tillers, combine harvesters, and drones—essential equipment for mechanized farming.
With a shortage of skilled operators in the Ministry of Agriculture’s mechanization sector, this program seeks to bridge the gap and enhance agricultural productivity in the country.
FM Investment, known for its expertise in agricultural technology, is providing both technical and professional training to ensure participants gain hands-on experience.
The initiative is expected to not only boost employment opportunities for young people but also contribute to the modernization of farming practices in Sierra Leone.
By the end of the program, graduates will be well-equipped to support the country’s agricultural sector through mechanized farming, addressing a critical need for skilled operators in the industry.
