Coffee farmers in remote Marawaka are struggling



Coffee is one of the commodity that contribute towards the economy of the country. It is a financial strength that boast some remote areas in terms of financial burdens like school fees and so on. 
Marawaka in Eastern Highland is very remote that heavily depends on coffee to pay for goods and services. However last year till this year,I as a local student observed lacking of school fee assistance towards the students. As all student from the area came nothing in the beginning of the year to pay for school fees at various institutions, only bus fares.
As of 2018 to this date coffee farmers are still searching for help or buyers to sell their coffee parchments.
The local Mp through DDA must intervene and make budget plan to subsidize more on airfares in the areas of Marawaka because the only way to get store goods, school materials and health supplies there is by plane and few by Menyamya road to reach destination and vice versa.  This means if the airfare is K350, then the district should subsidize with K150 so people can pay K200. This would a better solution for coffee buyers or business person and government agency out there to constantly buy coffee parchments,  transport store goods, transport school materials and health services in the area.
