Farmers in Jarra, Lower River Region are positively impressed with this year’s cropping season and hopes are high that harvests would be good.
In an interview with The Fatu Network, farmers in the area are enthusiastically overwhelmed with the progress of their crops, particularly maize, millet and groundnut.
“This year promises to be a season with a difference compared to the previous years when the performance of my crops were below par. I’m expecting a bumper harvest this time around as my crops are doing extremely well,” Abdoulie Jobe, a farmer said.
Ebrima Dem was happy with the status quo when he told The Fatu that: “The rain pattern is very impressive and we’re hopeful that there would be a record high in this year’s productivity.”
However, despite the pre-harvest hopes, the farmers are concern for a good post-harvest trading season.
