On
this day, CEFA teams were here together with ALIN team to ensure that the
contracted farmers planted the ‘sim sim’ in the right procedure to achieve the
best quality products. The major reason why we had to do this is because the
contractor/buyer had given out the seeds for the production and was also the
ready market for the same for export. More than 4 acres were sawn.
The
idea was brilliant but our farmers need to take the support they are being
given very serious in that after a few lines demo, the advisor needs not to
stick by them until we are done with the last line to ensure it is done
rightly. I believe this market is for the good of them and therefore they need
to show appreciation by doing it right.
Otherwise
the ‘the sim sim’ have germinated very nicely and we are both looking forward
for the best result. We have also trained the three officials of the group Mr. Morris
Ombili, Mrs. Angelina Akello and Mr. Joseph Odhiambo and they are able to
access other best ways of managing the product in the farm and during post
harvesting.
