Description
Abstract The state of farming hand tools adopted by women farmers in Terekaka, Southern Sudan was explored during May and June 2005. Field data was collected using questionnaires in face to face interviews and group discussions with 125 women farmers in the household and commercial production sites. The majority of women were apparently satisfied with the tools they use despite their drudgery of work and short durability. This related to socio-cultural aspects. Women lack training and extension on hand tools and they demanded basic consideration to their special needs in the design of farming tools. They demanded affordable, lighter and long handled tools.
