Some Kasinthula Cane farmers have access to grow maize during winter using the irrigation system for the canes. They grow three times per year. They enjoy their harvests and assuring food insecurity. Sometimes they fail to achieve the good harvests if the pump fail to function. One of the biggest challenges for this growing season is the damage by buffaloes while the maize plants are at the flowering stage. These buffaloes are from Lengwe National Park almost 40 km away from Kasinthula.
