About “SADDER” 

SADDER - Sustainable Agricultural Development to Diversify and Export Regionally (2023-2027) is a project funded by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and implemented by the Rene Moawad Foundation (RMF). 

"SADDER" will incorporate enhanced methodologies and best practices. It will aim to support Lebanon's economy through the agriculture sector by assisting stakeholders within the selected value chains, Table Grapes, Avocados, Cherries, and Apples, in meeting both local and export market requirements, ultimately leading to increased income, self-sustainability of various agricultural sectors, as well as job creation and retention. 

Purpose of the Tender

The purpose of this Tender is to solicit competitive proposals from qualified and/or certified laboratories for Soil, Water and Tissue Analysis as a prerequisite to generate fertilization programs per farmer, which ensures that farmers are applying fertilizers based on scientific methodologies, and not based on traders’ marketing strategies. This will ultimately result in minimizing the overuse of fertilizers, and decrease pollution of soils and water. The tests will also serve to ensure that the final produce meets the international export and consumption standards and requirements.

The services required by RMF are described in the Annex:
