Those worst hit are rice farmers at Aframso and other surrounding communities, a major rice hub in the region as an estimated 200 acres of rice farm at two irrigation sites, SCIMP and ALPHA Limited have all been submerged. The rainfall destroyed the boundaries of the irrigation sites and swept over the farms submerging them in the process. “Rice farmers in Aframso and Ntomamum are counting our losses as we have been badly affected following a heavy downpour. Our rice farms have been submerged and we have lost everything. In the interim, we want them to fix the irrigation sites for us”.
