Lennox Wilson A Chitsonga of the Kaphiri-Kamodzi Farm in Felemu-Mwanza, Malawi reports that 'the publication Maize helped me know the reality about how far away my farm is in terms of maize production per unit area, how widely the crop is grown, and the level and sophistication of the technology applied in the physical processes of production, processing and marketing. The publication also contributed significantly to a spectacular surge of production from the traditional 0.75 metric tonnes per hectare or thereabouts to 2.5 metric tonnes in the 1999-2000 season. This production came from the part of my subsistence farm to which I put maize and worked with my two hands. As long as I have this book and put it to such use, it will mean more maize, nsima maize flour and a cash surplus for investment. Mr Chitsonga adds 'in Malawi, people reckon that taking any snacks or supper without nsima is like sleeping without eating.' He has written a description of its preparation, widely known in southern Africa. Readers can request a copy of this by writing directly to the address Spore-desk note, not the usual address.
