About 899 farmers of Tuzamurane Cooperative in Cyeza sector of Muhanga district have agreed that behavior change towards agriculture practice contributed to the increased production of soybeans and maize.
Members of the above cooperative said this year’s produce of soybeans and maize increased, thanks to the RWARRI project that trains local farmers in Cyeza sector on modern techniques of marshland farming and the use of fertilizer.
Local farmers cultivate an area of 106 hectares in Takwe, Nzeyi and Nyagashenyi marshlands.
Nishyirembere Redempta, one of the cooperative members, said before being trained on advanced skills of farming, he was living in awful condition noting that after training the production has significantly increased comparing to the previous harvest.
The RWARRI (Rwanda Rural Rehabilitation Initiative) which trains local farmers is a non-profit making and nongovernmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the promotion and improvement of social-economic welfare of rural communities in Rwanda, by acting as a flexible catalyst that provokes their hidden potential.
