Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 42361, member: 636"] Fire destroyed more than 1,000 cashew trees at a farm near Jimara District last week. Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu lost his entire plantation and farming center during the blaze. The flames burned down storage buildings, equipment sheds, and water systems across the property. Local women used portions of the land for free to grow groundnuts and millet crops. Community members depended on the farm for their main source of income each season. Ebrima Janko supervises workers at the site and called the fire mysterious because it started after hours. Nobody knows what caused the flames to spread across the cashew plantation. The fire damaged tractors, trucks, farming tools, and irrigation equipment worth thousands of dollars. Sankanu appealed for help to rebuild before the rainy season begins. The farm supported agricultural development programs under government initiatives across the region. [/QUOTE]
