GOSHEN FARMS TO VENTURE IN IRRIGATION FARMING
Visionnaire of Goshen Farms one of the Subsidiaries of Goshen City Prophet Shepherd Bushiri has disclosed that he plans of venturing into irrigation farming to maximize harvests .
Bushiri made the remarks when he inspected one of the Goshen Farms , Kapiri Farms in Mchinji.
He further stated that Malawi as a country should now employ Irrigation farming rather than heavily depending on rain fed Agriculture which is becoming a challenge due to the unpredictable rainfall patterns the country is facing.
With the full utilization of Irrigation farming, Goshen Farms have the capability of harvesting crops twice or thrice a year, reducing the hunger rate in the country.
Reacting to the development, Minister of Agriculture Sam Kawale who accompanied Prophet Bushiri for inspection, said that the Goshen Farms are in line with the Country's Vision 2063 goals .
The 1000 hectares Kapiri Farms in Mchinji has 300 hectares of land for Cultivated for Maize production.
