Project to establish an agricultural technology transfer system directed to small and medium farmers in Chiriqui Province, Panama. The project, which will be extended to other regions during subsequent phases, will be implemented by the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA), Region I, and the Panamanian Institute for Applied Research (IDIAP). Chiriqui Province will be divided into agro-ecological zones and then subdivided into micro-zones that can be serviced by individual MIDA field agents. Ten local MIDA offices, each staffed by 2-4 senior technology transfer agents and 3-5 assistants, will be established. Each assistant will work directly with 40 farmers for 2 years. Over the life of the project, MIDA personnel, backstopped by IDIAP specialists, will reach 80% of targeted farmers through 290,832 farm visits, 2,450 farm demonstrations, 762 field days and 1,734 farmer meetings. To ensure that extension activities incorporate ongoing research, IDIAP specialists will train senior MIDA agents who will in turn train their assistants. Preprogram training will be provided to 27 senior and 109 assistant agents, 24 IDIAP specialists, and to 12 support staff and will be offered l
