Malawian Farmers Benefit from Irrigation Farming
Communities from Mpundi village in the area of Traditional Authority (T/A) Namabvi in Mangochi have said they have found gold in irrigation farming.
The communities have owed this success story to Pemphero Community-Based Organization (CBO) for providing them with farm inputs and irrigation materials.
“Unlike in the previous years when hunger used to bite us hard and reduced us to perennial beggars, this time around, we are now “masters” as opposed to “servants” since we are living the world of plenty,” said Weza Amini, one of the farmers from the area on Friday last week during the field visit officials of Pemphero CBO organized.
She expressed satisfaction with the fruits they are getting from the irrigation farming.
