The Etunda Irrigation Project in the Omusati Region has 180 hectares of maize under irrigation, and its acting farm manager, Sackey Shilyomunhu, says if all goes according to plan, they should have a bumper harvest.

Shilyomunhu says their intention was to plant 420 hectares of maize this year, but this could not be achieved due to the late acquisition of agricultural inputs.

The maize under irrigation currently will be harvested in July.

The farm plans to plant another 240 hectares of maize in August.
