How a woman farmer was empowered by ZARI’s Groundnut seed
In Kagunda village, located in Chipata, Mrs. Phiri’s once meagre groundnut harvests have transformed into a thriving success story, thanks to the Market and Seeds Access Project (MASAP), a 12-year initiative funded by the SDC and implemented by a consortium of organisations in Zambia and Zimbabwe, including the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI). After receiving high-quality seeds and training through MASAP, she produced a yield of 450 kg of groundnuts from only one acre of land, securing food for her family and earning a substantial K9000.
