2010 can be considered a year of many challenges. The year
started with El Nino conditions and ended with the opposite-
La Nina conditions. Despite the many challenges, we have
experienced a record year for exports and a very good year for
production. This is due to no small sacrifice of the farmers; as
we have seen their resilience again in 2010. Difficulties incurred,
included the weather and a large defaulting of payment to farmers
from millers/exporters. This has made a significant impact on
the livelihood of some farmers.
