Food and commodity prices have significantly increased in the country since the shutting down of oil production in January.
“I am appealing to my country ladies to use their energy in production rather than waiting for the help from employed relatives,” Mary Achol said.
Achol is selling vegetables at the local market in Bor and she advised women to take advantage of land for cultivation and making money.
Achol said she gets about 150 South Sudanese Pounds (SSPs) everyday from the selling of vegetable.
“I am happy with this business because I can get over 100 SSPs in a day which is so much encouraging. I have very small farm but am willing to expand it in the next season,” she said.
Moses Manyang explained that the residents have cultivated for the first time in their history since the liberation struggle disrupted farming.
Most of the communities in the area were depending on livestock rearing but the recent cattle rustling activities in Jonglei has destabilised the rearing.
“The people were having fear about cattle raids, children abduction and killing of innocent people in the area but as Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) forces are now trying to eliminate all the criminals,” Moses said.
