{{Progress in Agriculture will depend on the effort that farmers put in sustainable agriculture and how they are supported to identify productive crops that are friendly to the nature of soil.}}
In many parts of the country, terraces were identified as farming techniques which not only contribute to higher production but also to curb soil erosion and maintaining soil fertility.
Residents of Macuba sector in Nyamasheke District are supposed to take good care of the terraces made by Rural Sector Support Project (RSSP) by owning them and making them productive.
This was said by the vice mayor for finance and economic development of the District Charles Bahizi during the official opening of cultivation season 2013B in Nyamasheke district.
The terraces made by local people on the support of RSSP are meant to increase the production of farmers using them especially in the Land Use Consolidation program and planting selected crops.
The terraces cover about 115 hectares and are worth Frw145 million.
Vincent Nsabuwera the director of agriculture in RSSP urged residents who will be farming on these terraces to make them productive by farming well for their own benefit.
