Mr Chazale, you amaze me. Does it not mean that these farmers had enough money to marry several wives in their villages? They could afford to maintain their wives and children, i guess. How is this the issue of low prices? Don’t you think that if they refrained from marrying several wives they could have invested?

May be our farmers need education to be indeed real farmers. The need to understand that they are in business like all other businesses. Our farmers live from hand to mouth because of lack of knowledge on business management (farm management)

Marketing boards had been the colonial way of suppressing native producers. This had continued during post independence. Farmers have remained slaves to these boards.
The modern way is for government to empower these farmers by forming cooperatives and advancing them with a loan for cotton ginneries. Then link them to markets where ADMARC is selling.
No fwi fwi for ADMARC

These cotton farmers in Karonga have been abused since time immemorial.The prices have been very low.The only benefit for this farmers has been to buy an ox cart,bicycles and marrying several wives in their villages.It is only middlemen who have made a fortune from this.Most of these farmers are old than their real age for slaving in their cotton fields for any benefit heavily burnt by the unforgiving sun.
