Mai Aisha Trust, with the support of One National donors, distributed 28 bags of 50kg Urea fertilizer and 28 bags of 50kg NPK fertilizer, totaling 56 bags. In addition to the fertilizer, we distributed 140 packs of 1kg hybrid maize seed varieties to farmers at Makolongwe Irrigation Scheme in Madziabango along Chikwawa Road on September 18, 2023.
These farm inputs were shared among 163 farmers operating under the Makolongwe Irrigation Scheme and are intended for use during irrigation farming this year after they harvest their first cycle of irrigation crops.
Objectives for Farm Inputs Distribution
- To support farmers with farm inputs such as fertilizers and seeds to maximize crop yields
- To assist vulnerable groups who cannot afford to purchase farm inputs due to rising costs
- To improve food and nutrition security in the community
Through this farm inputs distribution, farmers will be able to harvest better yields and improve their livelihoods. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to agricultural development and food security in Malawi.
