IMPROVE FARMING METHIDS
I.E USE TRACTORS NOT HOES

IMPROVE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

WHERE ARE THE TRACTORS
GOVT BOUGHT FROM INDIA ???

SEIZE ALL CASHGATE MONIES
AND PROPERTIES USE THE MONEY TO BUY FERTILIZERS
FOR FARMERS.

WITHOUT THESE MAJOR
THINGS FORGET ABOUT
FOOD SECURITY.

IT WILL JUST BE A SONG
OF THE YEAR

Nkopola irrigation site in Mangochi is very potential for maize production. Facilities are there only maintenance is required, why government is not serious on this scheme. mind you it is very close to the lake/shire.

We have seen better plans before. Malawians and Africans at large know “what” needs to be done, but invariably do not have the faintest clue on “how” to do things!!

Mr.Chaponda,we have heard such rhetorics a million times,but nothing tangible had been realized hitherto.It would be foolhardy to believe you can handle the new portfolio with deligent crafty,when you horribly mishandled the lesser complicated Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Let me think that you have been given these Ministries because you belong to the same ethnicity with Manthanyula.Well,we shall see how you will navigate the boat.Anyway,good luck.

Eesh, not only have we been here before, but I can’t even count how many times we’ve heard this same rhetoric. It’s like that feeling you get when you know all the words to a song. Ask your grandparents about the dialogue they heard around agriculture, maize, and irrigation back in the day – same lyrics, different beat, round and round. 75% of irrigable land producing two yields of maize every year? A noble long-term goal indeed and one I pray will come true. Please, take it from me, in Kasungu we are real farmers alimi amphamvu ndi makhasu afupi… Read more »

The plan seems laudable, comiing from a fool like Chapola, who wrote this for him? Will our half baked graduates from Bunda follow this through?
