We have materials, drought-tolerant maize varieties that give much better yields even in drought conditions. We have also heat-tolerant maize varieties. We also have technology like conservation agriculture with which you can have much better yields. We have to work on this together with the minister and his team. You need research and also smallholder farmers need seeds and small-scale mechanisation. We do this in Asia, America and many African countries. We are glad we have a team of 70 specialists in your country. *Also Read:* *Govt Comes Up With Strategy To Minimise Drought* More: Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
