Floods leave Glen Valley farm P150 000 poorer (19 January, 2006)
GABORONE - The recent rains that caused floods in various parts of Gaborone and surrounding areas have left a Glen Valley farm P150 000 poorer.
Greenland Agricultural Productions and Consultancys Managing Director Moses Phuti told BOPA that six out of seven tunnels of planted tomatoes and greenpepper were under water.
Phuti said the water took three days to dry up, killing plants worth P150 000 that were maturing.
He said the farm had a continuous plan, which is a 12-month cycle, of nurturing and harvesting the same crops, saying now that the crops were dead there was no choice but to plant again.
However, the CEDA-funded project was not experiencing the problem for the first time.
Since our first crop of September 2005, we have had few floods, especially during the December rains, but they were not as severe as the ones we experienced recently.
Phuti explained that their farm submerged even when it had not rained in their area, adding that when the Segoditswane River floods, its waters flow straight to the farm.
He said lands and housing minister Dikgakgamatso Seretse, whose ministry is the leasser, had inspected the damages and sympathised with them.
Phuti said they were expecting a visit from the ministry officials who had promised to find some permanent solution to the problem.
In addition, he said, they were not only concerned about the damages, but the market as well. He said the farms ambition was to stop vegetable imports into the country.
Currently, he said, the farms main customers were street vendors. We want to overcome the low quality tomato imports that come into our country, he said.
We have therefore, as farmers, decided to group ourselves to beat the imports.
Boago Moganani, the chief land utilisation officer at the Ministry of Agriculture, said the ministry was working with the farm to find a solution to the flooding problem.
He said the aim was to promote agricultural production in Botswana. Moganani said the land on which Greenland Agricultural Productions is located was fertile but was unfortunate that it was threatened by the recurring floods.
He said the ministry was waiting for the land to dry before carrying out a detailed survey on how best to channel flood water.
Greenland Agricultural Productions and Consultancy is one of the 47 Glen Valley horticultural farms serviced under NAMPAADD and is located on a low land near Segoditswane River.
The company has spent more than P800 000 on construction and crop production. BOPA

Cariscience professor lauds Jagdeo Initiative (Monday, September 10th 2007)
Cariscience's Professor Harold Ramkissoon has lauded the Jagdeo Initiative for leading the Region's agricultural programme towards food security and sustainability.
According to a press release from the Government Information Agency Ramkissoon, following a meeting with President Bharrat Jagdeo to discuss how the Region's science and technology drive could be improved said he was "very optimistic that we would see results from this initiative. I would like to see similar initiatives with respect to energy security." He said if food and energy security could be achieved in the Caribbean Community it would create an independent Region.
Themed 'Strengthening Agriculture for Sustainable Development' the objectives of the Initiative include alleviating binding constraints to the development of the sector and creating an enabling environment to encourage a revival of investment in agriculture. In keeping with this, an Agriculture Donors Conference held in Trinidad and Tobago in June, raised US$10M in pledges, from the Region, for the project.
An Investment Confer-ence is planned for November to further consolidate the financial commitments made.

CARDI (Tuesday 11 September, 2007)
In the context of advancing the plan to further diversify and strengthen the non-sugar agricultural sector in the country, Cabinet discussed the role of the CARDI (Caribbean Agriculture Research and Development Institute) in assisting the success of our local agricultural programme. Cabinet was updated by the Honourable Minister of Agriculture on the need to support the restructuring of CARDI so that our goals could be more efficiently and more effectively achieved.
Cabinet was pleased with the progress made in the agricultural diversification programme and committed strong support for the Minister of Agriculture’s request for land and other resources so that the sector may exceed its last year’s performance when the output in the production of fruits and vegetables grew by 134%.

No Food, No Future Without a Farmer
AGRICULTURE has played a key role in kick-starting economic growth and reducing poverty and hunger in many developing countries.
Most of the countries that have failed to launch an Agricultural Revolution remain trapped in economic stagnation. But the conventional conclusion is that these states should invest more heavily in their agricultural development, and particularly in small-scale farms.
In Zambia, we are blessed with plenty of good fertile land, rivers, lakes, swamps and natural sweet water wells. In fact, the country has the potential to become the fresh fruit and vegetable basket of Africa.
But these rich resources are not used as well as they might be. That is because farming is not considered an attractive option by most people.
Astonishing enough, when an agricultural programme appears on television or radio, instead of learning something about the topic, they quickly change channels either to a soap opera or music, but at the end of the day say tomato, onion or Chinese cabbage is expensive at the market.
They can listen to anything, or conversely, say agriculture is a boring subject, yet they look forward to nshima, banana, fish, potatoes or carrots consumption. Isn't it funny?
I guess that is why Zambia National Farmers Union slogan rightly points out that without a farmer, there will be no food and definitely no future for Zambia.
Even if good prospects for economic activities exist, many people are not interested in crop growing because they see agriculture to be for the retired people and as hard work for little money.
Many young men and women are migrating to the capital city to look for work, leaving behind thousands of hectares of good, rich land that could be used for farming.
The problem is that people do not see the tremendous potential that agri-businesses, organic farming and agro-tourism offer. People lack information and awareness of how to connect technology with agri-business.
Potential
The fact that President Mwanawasa's administration has placed agriculture to be the top priority, that is agriculture has the potential to serve as an engine for achieving broad-based economic growth, diversifying production, increasing incomes as well as improving national and household food security, not every farmer has access to the Internet and is often hard to know where to turn for technical assistance and advice.
Most farmers resist new technology because they lack information. They are not told that technology has made life a lot easier today to the extent that even a challenging task like cultivation of land is made a lot easier with the use of appropriate machinery.
In recent years, rapid improvements of machinery has enabled fewer farmers to work on more land with greatly improved productivity gains.
Many places are good plantations for sugar, coffee and other crops like cotton, paprika, soybean, sorghum which do relatively well in this country and markets can actually open only if farmers produce the crops with quality and quantity.
Now that the farming season is near the corner, it is a well-known fact that land preparation is supposed to be done, but this is a matter most farmers, especially small-scale with little finances, have chosen not to follow.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, a good harvest does not only come with enough rain but always with proper planning and timely, adequate preparations.
Farmers should know what they intend to grow in a particular season, how much money is required and how much land will be cultivated. A good plan is like a map. It will guide the farmer up to the marketing season. It is said that failing to plan is planning to fail.
Up to now, most small-scale farmers have stuck with the old ways of farming where they prepare their land on the onset of the rain. It is at this stage where a good harvest begins to get compromised as a farmer is likely to be in a hurry to do a lot of things in a very short period of time.
It is practically impossible to plant early with the early planting rain to benefit from the nitrogen flush and capturing as much rainy water as possible. When it is time to weed, the farmer will be busy planting. Pest control and all the good management practices will not be done at the right time.
Several agricultural organisations have discouraged such a conventional and unprofitable approach to farming as it delays everything, hence farmers who begin late end up making a loss.
One such organisation is Conservation Farming Unit (CFU). This firm teaches and encourages farmers to start land preparation for the next season as soon as they are through with their harvesting.
"This helps them spread their tasks across the season. Getting good results in farming is about doing critical tasks in time and properly," states Peter Aagaard.
Aagaard, who is the national coordinator for CFU, says land preparations should start as early as June but those who have not started can begin now before the temperatures get high.
"Timely planting is the number one key to success and this is as a result of early land preparation," he says.
It is not easy for small-scale farmers to gain access to markets in big towns, sell their produce for a reasonable return and hold their own against imported products while at the same time satisfying consumers who are increasingly demanding in terms of quantity, diversity and quality.
Many farmers have discovered, farming is advantageous and profitable particularly when one is availed with appropriate information on how and when to venture into agricultural activities.

Botswana farmers encouraged to commercialise
The former Botswana Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Moses Lekaukau has encouraged farmers in Kgalagadi to apply for funds under the Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) and venture into commercial farming. Lekaukau made this appeal when he was opening the Northern Kgalagadi District Agricultural show in Tshane.
Lekaukau said the theme of the show, "Venturing into Development Programmes to Alleviate Poverty," is both appropriate and relevant as it is only through meaningful participation in agriculture that efforts to alleviate poverty can be realised.
He said the Ministry of Agriculture recently introduced two revised support schemes to assist farmers improve their agricultural management practices. The schemes are meant to assist farmers graduate from subsistence to commercial farming out of which they can derive a livelihood.
Lekaukau said district shows afford farmers an opportunity to share and exchange their experiences. They are also a platform for the youth and emerging farmers to interact and learn practical skills through which they can make meaningful decisions about their future.
Since independence, Government has put into place a number of strategies geared towards agricultural development. These include the Tribal Grazing Land Policy (TGLP), the Arable Land Development Programme (ALDEP), the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) and the National Agricultural Master Plan for Arable Agriculture and Dairy Development (NAMPAAD).
But Lekaukau said despite these schemes, the performance of the sector has been below expectations. He said at independence, the sector contributed 40 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); this has declined to below three percent.
He pointed out that other reasons for poor performance have been cited as persistent drought, low adoption of improved technologies, poor management practices and high input costs.
"Whilst it remains a fact that the contribution of agriculture to the GDP has been on (a) declining curve for some time, it is also a fact that agriculture remains an important backbone of the economy by providing food, income, informal employment and capital formation for the majority of people in the rural areas.
"It is, therefore, in the long-term interest of the country to promote productive investment in the sector to improve the standards of the rural people," Lekaukau said.
