By: Yankho Maunjiri

Ministry of agriculture has advised farmers in the country to store their farm produce appropriately to avoid post-harvest losses that happens when grain is not stored properly.

According to the ministry’s spokesperson Gracian Lungu, 10-15% of harvests get lost every year due to poor storage management.

‘‘We mostly lose around 10-15% of the national harvest due to poor management, therefore our ministry has been promoting some of the storage technologies that will allow farmers to keep their grain for a long time,’’ said Lungu.

Lungu said some of the technologies are thematic bags, which are mostly sold on the Malawian markets.

‘‘ we have been promoting this technology, as it has proved to be one of the easiest and good storage technology, yes they can be expensive at the onset of buying , but the good thing is that the bag can be used for 2 to 3 years, added Lungu.

He further said they have also been encouraging farmers to use pesticides to keep their grain.

Mighty Mukuru Wanderers came from behind to grab three points in the ongoing TNM Super League, beating Red Lions 2-1 at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday

In the first half, both teams failed to capitalise on scoring chances and it ended goalless.

The Nomads succumbed to the pace and pressure from the Zomba-based soldiers in the 56th minute when Andrew Biyo gave his team the much-deserved lead.

Wanderers quickly responded through former Nyasa Big Bullets striker Chiukepo Msowoya who equalised just three minutes after the Lions’ goal.



Another former Bullets player, Muhammad Sulumba scored the winner for the Lali Lubani boys as he headed-in a Stanley Sanudi corner in the 62nd minute.

Despite the win the Nomads remain third on the log table with 22 points from 11 games while Red Lions are on position 12 with 12 points having played the same number of games as Wanderers.

Nyasa Big Bullets surged four points clear at the top of the TNM Super league as they proved far too strong for Silver Strikers, beating them 3-1 at Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.

Bullets who are yet to test defeat this season were on top once Patrick Mwaungulu find the target on 12 minutes with a beautifully taken free kick curving the ball past Silver’s goalkeeper Charles Thom.

Babatunde Adepoju increased Bullets lead at 17 minutes after receiving a cross from Mwaungulu before the Nigerian converted a penalty 6 minutes later to cap off a superb performance by the home side.

The central bankers pulled on back through Stain Davie just a minute before the end of the match after a defensive lapse on the part of the home side.

In another match played on Saturday Mafco FC thrashed Rumphi United 3-nil at Chitowe Stadium.

The Salima-based soldiers relied on Dan Chimbalanga’s goal and Peter Kasonga’ brace to secure maximum points and move to from position 8 to sixth position on the log table.
