Like many farmers in Malawi, Frank is pinning his hopes on a very special crop this Harvest - pigeon peas.
This hardy crop is ideal for Malawi’s dry soil. Its deep roots are resistant to drought and can withstand the country’s increasing and destructive flash flooding.
But no matter how hard Frank works on his crops, he can’t escape a life of grinding poverty. Unscrupulous middlemen are exploiting farmers by using illegal buying scales to drive down prices.
It’s not enough to be good at farming. To survive, you have to be good at business too.
