#NEWS: The country's coffee board has begun a strategy to drill deep wells and install irrigation infrastructure on Arabica coffee farms in Mbozi district, Songwe region, with the aim of saving the crop's flowers, especially during the dry season, which will increase production of the crop and raise farmers' income.
While in Bara village, Bara Ward, where a large well with a capacity of more than five thousand liters per hour was dug, the Manager of the Mbeya Zone Coffee Board, Mr. Ezekiel Mwakyoma, said that so far the project has been implemented in ten villages in the district, which is doing well in coffee farming despite facing the effects of climate change.
Some farmers who expect to benefit from the project, which is expected to be completed soon, despite praising it, have asked for the distribution of irrigation infrastructure to be expedited so that they can start benefiting from the opportunity through the crop, which has currently enjoyed great popularity due to its good prices compared to other seasons.
