Those who are supported for the second year receive half of the seeds and inputs they need while those who benefit from the support for the third time, are entitled to 20% of those seeds and inputs for the growing season A 2021- 2022. In those supports, the proportions of the quantities granted are already known and are 30 kilograms of hybrid maize seeds per hectare, against 150 kilos of FOMI inputs called Imbura and 75 kilograms of inputs known as Totahaza.
