“This was a good learning experience, we have learned about value addition for our produce, such as packaging which increases the value for our produce which can allow us to fetch better prices for produce on the market,” David Kanthonga, chair of Twavwane Cooperative, which is part of the Integrated Rural Development project, stated in a separate interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cWe were also inspired by other cooperatives who are using different channels to market and sell their produce for example we saw a cooperative that is using Seed-Co to sell their seed, this is a very good initiative, and we are very grateful to Karonga Diocese CADECOM for facilitating that we should attend the fair\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
