Program Details

Agriculture and livestock keeping are the main sources of income. The weather is generally hot and dry, with long hours of sunshine. In good years, it rains from March to May and again from October through December. However, recent years have brought more dry months than expected, causing prolonged water shortages that affect crop production.
