This is no-till or direct planting project done through RAFI. 230 hectors were planted with a yield of 4,5 tons a hector. With this being a pilot year, the aim is to get a 6 tons in the second year of implementation.
The yield will be processed in Mqanduli Red Hub. Processing the yield locally will create more jobs.
