From your email you are based in Arusha and have shambas in Kondoa. The project HOPE actually operates in these areas and of interest is the fact that there will be a field day in Kondoa on or around 3rd May 2013 where stakeholders and interested parties will be shown the different varieties and management options in finger millet and sorghum (it might be of interest for you to attend). As for your interest in production there are two varieties of finger millet recently released and performing well; U15 and P224. you can be availed seed; however the growing season should be over now so you may have to wait for the next season.

As a project, HOPE places a lot of emphasis in the whole value chain and value addition is one of the way of creating demand. We have developed some products from finger millet (biscuits, crackers, cakes etc) and trained stakeholders and consumers on their production. If you could indicate what products you are interested in and where you come from (market of products at times depends on the eating habits of population) we would be more than willing to give more information Dear Caleb,
