Editor,

I am writing to move a vote of thanks to World Food Programme following its announcement that they would purchase in bulk agriculture produce worth Rwf741million from Rwandan farmers.

This announcement is good news to us and we must support WFP’s purchase for progress p4p initiative because it will give many of our fellow farmers a chance to sell their products.

Farming is a difficult job and indeed becomes awful if farmers fail to secure markets for their products. Some farmers resort to selling their products cheaply after working for many years, due to lack of attractive market price.
