In central Burundi, the Gitega cooperative, a member of the AEVCPV association, harvested less than one ton of maize from two hectares during growing season A. The cooperative’s leaders consider this a poor yield. This relatively low harvest is largely attributed to the delay in the delivery of FOMI fertilizers<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With its 86 members, the Gitega cooperative, a member of the AEVCPV association, harvested 964 kilograms of maize. According to Jos\u00e9phine Ntirandekura, head of the cooperative, growing season A was not very successful. On the two hectares farmed, this manager estimates that their cooperative could have harvested at least one ton of maize if all conditions had been met.<\/p>\n

Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi, president of the AEVCPV, also acknowledges that the Gitega cooperative’s activities were somewhat disrupted by the delay of FOMI fertilizer. “The funding for this cooperative was released a bit late,” notes Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi. Even once the funding was released, the distribution of FOMI fertilizer was delayed.<\/p>\n

Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi further indicates that the cooperative still has bags of FOMI fertilizer in stock that were not used because they arrived too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
