“Igebe lobulili ekufinyeleleni empahleni ekhiqizayo, izinsiza kanye nokokufaka libonakala kahle,” kusho u-Ranjitha Puskur, usosayensi omkhulu futhi ohola indikimba yocwaningo lobulili lwe-IRRI.“Ngenxa yobuningi bezithiyo zomphakathi kanye nesakhiwo, abalimi besifazane bajwayele ukubhekana nezinselelo ezinkulu ekutholeni izinto zokulima ezisezingeni eliphezulu ngesikhathi esifanele, endaweni nangenani elithengekayo.Ukufinyelela kwabesifazane ezimakethe kuvame ukuba nomkhawulo, njengoba ngokuvamile bengabonwa njengabalimi.Lokhu futhi kunciphisa amandla abo okuthola imibono evela emithonjeni esemthethweni kahulumeni noma imifelandawonye.Nge-WPC, singakwazi ukuqala ukubhekana nalezi zingqinamba.”
Iholwa futhi ilawulwa ngabesifazane, isinyathelo se-WPC e-Odisha sinamalungu angaphezu kwe-1,300, futhi sinikeza izinsizakalo ezihlanganisa ukuhlinzekwa kokufaka (imbewu, umanyolo, izibulala-zinambuzane), ukuqashwa ngokwezifiso kwemishini yezolimo, izinsizakalo zezezimali kanye nokuthengisa.Iphinde yenze kube lula ukufinyelela kubuchwepheshe bakamuva ekukhiqizeni, ekucubunguleni, elwazini nasekulandelekeni.

Ngesizini elandelayo yokulima, umkhankaso we-WPC usebenzela ukwandisa ukufinyelela kwawo futhi ulethe izinzuzo zokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo kanye nokulethwa kobuchwepheshe kwabesifazane abengeziwe, okunomthelela ekwandeni kweholo kanye nempilo engcono yalaba balimi nemindeni yabo.
