This farmer decided to dump all his harvested tomatoes because of three reasons:
1.The prevailing market price is low.
2. The tomatoes are too ripened to transport.
3.He won't break even when he transports them.
This usually occurs when you don't plan your farming season based on market conditions. – at Rwanda

Today we commemorated World Food Day at Bwerudza irrigation scheme, Chipinge.
This year’s event ran under the theme “water is life water is food”.

WFP is working with urban communities to find ways to sustain themselves. Urban agriculture has been on the rise. While these vulnerable communities are producing food, they are also earning an income.
Bianca explains how we are doing it. ⤵️

Shared to me by a friend #Jaidi after a good discussion on how increase agric production at farm level.
High production level starts with:
*Site/land selection
*Land preparation
*Quality seed&fert&agro chem
*SMART Mgt
All backed by better finacial resources
Economic losses in Wheat will continue if farmers fail to report presence of quelea birds affecting their crop.

For many African countries, let's take it easy on the hydroponics craze. Very few local markets pay a premium for production methods. It's a great system, no doubt, but let's be wary of presenting it as a breakthrough solution. It's not for everyone 😔.
