CANKUZO April 4th (ABP) – The Sangwe cooperative of Mugera village in Mishiha commune, Cankuzo province, began harvesting maize in a field of nearly 3 ha on Saturday April 1, 2023, a check by ABP revealed.
According to the leader of that cooperative, Mr. Lambert Karenzo, they expect to have at least 6 tons of maize seeds even if they have experienced a lot of weather variations.
Apart from that crop, that cooperative has also engaged in the crop of rice and sorghum and is in possession of more than 140 pigs and more than 80 goats, Mr. Karenzo added.
