Team To Carryout Agricultural Research In Yambio County
A team from FARM project headed by Marka Phillip is on a visit to Yambio County to carryout research on improving agricultural productivity in the area. 26 February 2013 By Joseph Nashion YAMBIO, 25 February 2013 [Gurtong] – Yambio County Commissioner Kuzee John Elia illustrated that the FARM project has been doing some work in the county covering the Bangasu, Gangura and parts of Yambio town payams. Kuzee said that last year the project started to encounter some problems with the authorities because of the use of fertilizers introduced to the farmers. He said that the Western Equatoria State soils are virgin and requires no chemical fertilizers but organic manure to help in improving soil nutrients. The commissioner said that the application of fertilizers is not necessary as the main challenge facing the farmers accessing markets for their produce. He urged the visiting team to look into the matter with the project representative Bolingo Baya Walla promising that their main mission is to look on how to improve on agricultural productivity in the county. He said the team will carry out research to improve the performance by farmers to enable them choose the agricultural system they think is best for production in their various areas.
