Land Preparation

From antiquity Rural Farmers have relied almost exclusively on back breaking manual labour, utilizing the cutlass and hoe for its farming activities. Low cultivated hectares of land and poor yields have been the result especially when the farmer is malnourished or falls ill during the planting season. It is quite evident that mechanisation is the solution to this burdening problem but unfortunately the rural farmer cannot afford to purchase farm implements in the absence of support from the Cooperatives. As part of its strategy to support the rural farmers, H.A.O Foundation aims to invest in tractors, ploughs, harrows, boom sprayers and planters thereby making these available at an affordable fee or a share of the harvest.
