COPRA drops free pigeon pea seeds in Dodoma

Free seeds are dropping for farmers who actually know how to hustle. The Cereals and Other Produce Regulatory Authority decided to hook up smallholders in Dodoma with nearly three tonnes of pigeon pea starters. This distribution hits Chemba, Kondoa, and Kongwa districts to force some serious productivity upgrades.

Regional Commissioner Rosemary Senyamule hyped the Warehouse Receipt System for finally getting growers paid properly. She demanded that everyone keep building better storage sheds to secure the bag. This specific batch of inputs goes out gratis to the agriculturalists who crushed it last season.

Officials claim these protein-packed legumes will fix local diets while boosting bank accounts. Senyamule ordered council leaders to hand over the goods immediately to ensure planting starts fast. She wants agricultural officers watching everything like hawks to verify that the value chain actually benefits.

Fatma Nyangasa from Kondoa District expressed gratitude because this stash allows for early cultivation. Central Zone Manager Andrew Mgaya explained that Kondoa and Chemba snagged the lion's share with one tonne apiece based on their output stats. Kongwa received half a tonne to keep things moving.
