Overview

Seasonal Farming organises mechanized service packages, inputs and planning support around the wet and dry seasons so that land and labour are used productively through the year.

Why this programme exists

The programme is designed to support farmers across both wet and dry season cycles so that farmland remains productive for a greater part of the year.

Single-season cultivation leaves land, labour and equipment idle and limits farmer income; structured seasonal support addresses that directly.

Objectives

Wet-season mechanized farming packages.
Dry-season and irrigated production support.
Improved productivity per hectare.
Timely access to inputs.
Season planning and advisory support.
Efficient agricultural production cycles.

Expected outcomes
