Agricultural Research Station in Mauritania :
In the beginning of the year 2000, AAAID set new objectives and mechanisms for the experimental farm which was established in 1995 to support investment activity in the field of production and processing of vegetable oils in Mauritania. Accordingly, the name of the farm was changed to Agricultural Research Station in Mauritania, to be as a permanent extension and research station aiming at development of agriculture in Mauritania.
The new plan of this research station aimed at a group of programs which include :
- The move from agriculture in small research experiments to wider scale experiments.
- Adopt the concept of diversified agriculture and increased crop intensification.
- Growing of promising cultivars that proved their success under agricultural conditions of Mauritania .
- Raising the efficiency of the station facilities and reduction of expenses.
- Openness and cooperation with specialized Mauritanian authorities, as well as Mauritanian farms and investors, in relation the applied programs.
- Provision of farm management from Mauritanian cadre.
- Approval of self-financing concept for the station management.
The achieved results by the end of the year 2000 indicated that the management of the station, which is under the supervision of the Applied Agricultural Research Unit of AAAID, has achieved all its planned goals, which can be summarized as follows: The station had the privilege of being officially visited by several Arab, international and European organizations.
