From its mandate of being a national agricultural library, SNAL appreciate Dr. Miraji for doing his obligation on the requirement from the act established SNAL that all Tanzanians authors and publishers to do their responsibility on submitting the information they produce and publish to this library.

SNAL also advice Dr. Miraji to come up with the version of his research output into Swahili language where it can be set into Mkulima Collection repository since his study is important and there is a little information about pepeta. Same call is made to researchers and subject specialists in various agricultural produce to write in Kiswahili and in a straight forward language as to benefit wakulima whom the research outputs information is important in facilitating their farming activities.
