Niger: Late rains put crops at risk
NIAMEY: Low rainfall has disrupted the planting season throughout Niger as farmers who sowed seeds in May are forced to replant when their first crops died, according to the national association of farmers.
“There are real concerns with the planting season this year,” the association's coordinator, Djibo Bagna, told IRIN.
Idrissa Halidou in the semi-arid village of Torodi near the border with Burkina Faso told IRIN he lost his first planting.
“We had planted in May, but lack of rains forced us to plant again.”
