2.4.1.11 Farm Inputs:<br />

TABLE XIX:<br />

Availability of farm inputs is generally a problem to small farmers<br />

and <strong>Kilimanjaro</strong> farmers cannot be the exception. Farm inputs if<br />

correctly applied are very central in the improvement of both<br />

quality and quantity of farm yields. The main problems with farm<br />

inputs have always been later delivery or high prices of these<br />

inputs or short supply. Tables XIX and XXI give information on<br />

the availability of farm inputs and farm implements to farmers in<br />

<strong>Kilimanjaro</strong> region.<br />
