Article-Summary: 

Over the last two years, a small vehicle known as the 'motorcycle-wheelbarrow' has changed the lives of farmers in Pokola, reports Farm Radio Weekly. The vehicle has three wheels and features a large bucket on the back. Before the motorcycle-wheelbarrows arrived, many producers abandoned their fields because they were unable to get their produce to market. But with its help, farmers now lose fewer of their crops after harvest. Many farmers have increased their productivity.
