The region is also subject fairly severe mid- 24 O 17 S ST. 17 a 23 27 season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton production, v e ANNES MASVOSVA GARABA NYAZURA 16 M or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity with 2 7 33 6 a NYAKATSAPA Nya c 26 I 20 STAPLEFORD the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck production makungi h a n a e r y 13 o zu a 18 k a b Iny m (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good management on M 23 e a zu 24 soils of high available moisture potential.

The rainfall is too low and uncertain for cash cropping except in certain very h 29 9 R c OLD a CHIDUKU REDWING favourable localities, where limited drought-resistant crops can afford a sideline.
