MKP FARMS

Meet Rosemary Shikwesha of Shampande Village in Chibombo District.

Rosemary is a happy beneficiary of the Community Transformation Project funded by The Daughters of the Redeemer Catholic Sisters and is being implemented by MKP Farms.

The project is changing lives through market-based horticultural activities in which members of the community are empowered with smart solar irrigation systems, vegetable inputs and agronomically supported to end rural poverty....

You can achieve at least 3 big fruits per station, each weighing 1kg minimum... That is achievable if you follow the right ways of farming.....Lern butternut farming at

Butternut require curing at this stage.....

A few days ago we shared how the other section of the butternuts are performing well after going through the cold season (with the right interventions). On the other hand, we have a field without any mitigations (see the photos below).

The extremely low temperatures have had negative effects on our butternuts. However, we started applying the bio stimulant and Multi Micronutrient Fertilizer so that we can see if it will improve.... We shall keep you posted for any changes and improvement.....
