An agronomist's advice for Kidus's rice farm in Addis Ababa
A short consultation could save a season's rice harvest.

I farm 1 hectares of rice in Addis Ababa. This season I'm dealing with yields that have halved for two seasons. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Gdynia.
Rooting for you, Kidus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Addis Ababa
wishing you peace, Kidus. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
