Background
share close

Etunda Irrigation Green Scheme manager Sacky Shilyomunhu reports to local media the low demand for barley-based animal fodder despite producing six to seven tonnes last year adding that surrounding communities need awareness of the benefits of hydroponic feed for livestock. Meanwhile, Okongo farmer Willem Amutenya expressed to One Africa TV his concern over halted rainfall, disrupting the cropping season and threatening yields. Amutenya said ploughing began in December, but rains stopped barely three weeks later, leaving fields dry. Farmers fear significant losses if the rains don’t resume soon.
