Malawi floods affect cotton
SOME cotton farmers in Chikwawa and Nsanje districts of Malawi have been hit hard by floods that have swept away their crop, a development that will likely affect the crop’s output. Cotton Farmers Association president Dickson Gundani said in an interview on Sunday that six extension planning areas have been affected by the floods following heavy rains. He said it will be difficult for farmers to find money to replant because the recommended cotton seeds are expensive.
