Songea District Commissioner, Wilman Kapenjama Ndile, is advising maize farmers in Tanzania to resist immediate sales to middlemen. He urges patience, anticipating the government’s official indicative maize purchase price announcement expected in August. Ndile believes holding onto their harvest will allow farmers to benefit from fairer prices set by the government. This guidance aims to protect farmers from exploitation and ensure they receive appropriate compensation for their work. The District Commissioner addressed journalists at his office, emphasizing the importance of waiting for the official price announcement before selling. This intervention underscores the government’s commitment to supporting the agricultural sector and safeguarding farmers' livelihoods.
