Gondwe argued that the country’s economy rests on the shoulders of farmers who work for not more than six months in year.

“I think its high time we need to change our mindset in the way we work as Malawians for instance people work for three to four months in our fields in a year possibly a country can’t develop with this,” said Gondwe.

The minister called for need to engage irrigation farming as a way of ensuring food security in Malawi as reports reveal that half the population is food insecure.
