He has said that he is still not satisfied with the level of rice production in his district, even though it is the leading district in the production of the crop whereby if the Mlimba district council produces well, alone can feed the whole of Tanzania, so he has asked the experts from SUA to direct the right ways and the best seeds to be used.

Acting Project Coordinator from (SUA) Dr. Sylvester Haule explaining the Project to the Chief of Kilombero District.

"We are farming and we get a little. One hectare of a rice field can produce 25 sacks, but I read somewhere when I came here that you can produce up to forty-five to fifty sacks of rice. Why shouldn't we do the same", said Kyobya.

Explaining the purpose of the workshop and the initiation of the Project, Acting Project Coordinator from SUA Dr. Sylvester Haule has said it is to increase the use of weather services by learning how climate change affects agriculture, food and health systems as well as decision-making processes at the household level.

Various District leaders and other agricultural stakeholders listening to the presentations of the research results.

"In this project we have aimed to increase the capacity of the weather authorities to provide forecasts that meet the needs of farmers, to improve weather services and their delivery to stakeholders at the grassroots level in collaboration with the weather authorities, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health and Extension Officers and Health Officers", explained Dr. Haule.

This two-year project has been implemented from April 2021, and will end in 2023 in the District Council of Mlimba and Mvomero in collaboration between Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), the Michelsen Institute (CMI) in Norway, the Center for International Center for Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO) of Norway, Norwegian Research Center (NORCE), Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) and other institutions located in Norway.
