NIS AGRIBUSINESS REPORTS - Contacts and Publications (from RUSAG list)

Dear RUSAG subscribers, friends and colleagues,

Please find below a list of extension publications that can be ordered from the Farming Development Service, an extension service based in Sergiev Posad (north of Moscow). These publications have been developed by the Farming Development Service and the All-Russian Agricultural College, with asssistance from the Center for Citizen Initiatives, and are designed to help Russian farmers and farming associations succeed with minimal external inputs.

In order to keep postage costs down, please do not order these publications from locations outside the former Soviet Union. Rather, we would prefer that your Russian or NIS partners and associates contact the Farming Development Service. In this way, we hope to bring together all of the various Russian and NIS groups working to help transform post-soviet agriculture.

This project has been made possible by a grant from ISAR in Washington, DC. We encourage other groups that have translated or published extension materials (especially those with financial support from the US gov't) to post their publications list on this bulletin board as well. It is critical that we keep our efforts coordinated in order to avoid reinventing the wheel.

If you are interested in receiving CCI's Agricultural Initiative newsletter and are not on our mailing list, please send your postal mailing address to cciusa@igc.apc.org.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Will Easton
Director, CCI Agricultural Initiative
