dc.description.abstract“Before the introduction of the treadle pump I could not go beyond half a hectare, now I have doubled the size of my plot and it is easy to irrigate,” said Mumba who is growing a variety of crops that include onion, rapeseed, water melons, okra, cow peas, carrots and tomatoes. His profit has more than doubled to between K3 000,000 and K5 000, 000 per season. Problems arise when the Smallholder Market Creation (SMC) project finishes and equipment breaks down, forcing farmers to travel farther in order to find replacement parts.en
