On the 100ha demonstration- and research fields modern agricultural implements from Germany are used to grow wheat, soya, maize and potatoes.

The project objective is: 
Market-oriented farmers and multipliers successfully apply the knowledge acquired in the AKTC and thereby contribute to the further development and modernization of the Zambian agriculture.
