Today, 8 June 2026, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Timor-Leste (FAO TL), in partnership with the National Livestock and Veterinary Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Fisheries (MALFF), launched the first-ever Climate Smart Dairy Buffalo Management Training of Trainers (ToT) in Viqueque Municipality.

This landmark training brings together approximately 20 participants from key dairy-producing municipalities — Lautem, Viqueque, Manatuto, Manufahi, and Bobonaro — including staff from the Climate Smart Dairy Buffalo Resource Centers and frontline extension officers who work directly with smallholder farming communities.

The opening was graced by Dr. Augusto Barros, Director General of Livestock and Veterinary, MALFF, and Dr. Som Khanal, FAO Timor-Leste International Programme Coordinator — reflecting the strong commitment of both the Government of Timor-Leste and FAO to advancing climate-resilient livestock development.

Through this Training of Trainers (ToT), trained extension staff will carry forward knowledge and skills in climate-smart dairy buffalo management — empowering local farmers to improve milk production, enhance herd management, and build resilience against climate challenges.

🇹🇱 Together, building a stronger, more food-secure Timor-Leste.

From 28 to 30 April 2026, FAO supported 26 farmer groups in Viqueque Municipality through hands-on training on tractor management and sustainable agricultural mechanization.

Held in Uatulari Administrative Post, the training strengthened farmers’ skills in operating, maintaining, and collectively managing shared tractors. The session also reinforced transparency, accountability, conflict prevention, and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), helping promote more responsible and inclusive community-based systems.

Through sustainable mechanization, farmers are better equipped to improve productivity, support local food production, and contribute to a more resilient food system in Timor-Leste.
