The small-scale farmers grows variety types of crops throughout the year.They sell their products to different places in counrtywide. The small farmers maintain know how to maintain and manage their crops. [1]. Although they successfully sell their food,they still face the problem of transporting their products from place-to-place since some do not have transport. They even produce a lot of products,but there is no place to store it in the farm. The small-scale farmes also offers casual jobs to the nearby villagers and they earns foods for their famillies.[2]. The government also help these farmers by offering them with tractors,the center pivots, trucks and small vehicles but it's not enough for all of them.[3].
