NDIA working with CDC to bring relief to Dalliwala farmers -NAREI to intensify extension services

Jun 19, 2018 News

The Ministry of Agriculture, through the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) and the National Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) will soon be offering needed assistance to farmers in the riverine community of Dalliwala, Region 10.
This development comes in wake of farmers indicating that farming in the community has scaled down because of the lack of intervention, improper drainage, inability of farmers to access farmlands, and a lack of proper market facilities, among other issues.
NDIA’s CEO, Fredrick Flatts indicated that the authority is working with the Dalliwala Community Development Council to assist with clearing access channels to these farmlands.
NDIA is currently awaiting a map of the village from the Regional Chairman before meeting with farmers to discuss how best they can be assist.
NAREI CEO, Dr. Oudho Homenauth also said that the agency is working closely with farmers through its regional office to increase its technical capacity in the village.
Dalliwala is a small farming community mainly accessible by boat, with just more than 20 farmers who supply a significant percentage of cash crops to Linden. Many persons in the village depend on farming and selling their produce for a livelihood.
