Mazabuka wants more Fertiliser

Share

The MMD in Mazabuka has called on Government to send more fertiliser under the Fertiliser Support Programme (FSP), following the shortage of the commodity in the district.

MMD District Chairman, Trywell Himoonga who made the appeal in a statement to ZANIS in Mazabuka yesterday said farmers in the district are geared to contribute to national food security by engaging in meaningful food production as directed by President Banda.

Mr Himoonga complained that most genuine farmers have been left out in the first phase of the FSP.

He urged the Government through the Ministry of Agriculture to take the appeal seriously if the district is to become secure in food security.

Mazabuka district is now grappling with serious food shortages due to floods that wrecked havoc on crops in the last farming season.

Most farmers poor but viable farmers in Mazabuka have complained bitterly at the unfair distribution of fertiliser under the government sponsored FSP.

Some farmers have instead accused the Ministry of Agriculture staff of issuing huge quantities to Civil Servants who were reselling it at the expense of genuine farmers.

  1. Good morning, Goodmorning my bro. It seems they didnt get the news from Lundani that he cant manage to supply fertilizer to all Zambians cause the population is too big. Ba moze remind them

  2. This is very interesting. He is asking for more fertiliser when there is no rain in Mazabuka. I have just been there. This is how they steal. Pretending to champion the cause of the farmer, meanwhile ali padilu. Mambala. 😕

  10. this blog is dead,so many juveniles sneaking in,Ba LT can we please have some limits, otherwise the whole purpose of this blog has now been defeated.
    My men Prof at Oxford university,Mr mwinga,pragamist,Gaga,Rass Rated, where are you at,remember them days when sense was the order of the blog,now we have more ladies and more feminish guys who contribute out of excitement and seek recognition.
    Its just a reflection of a society we are from,one does not need to go to zambia to know what type of a country it is,indeed this blog serves a reflection of our weird and shallow thinking personality,hence the reason we are led by people whose mind is the belly.

  11. Give people what the want.In 2 months Zambia will run out of food and it is not a joke. It is high time we helped the people of Mazabuka with the fertilizer to produce the food that we my need tomorrow. Let us be very serious with food production in our beloved country food brings respect and long long life believe me or not but that is the truth about the all thing. Am not the profit of doom. I aim to reduce the price of food in Zambia. Respect

  12. **==**==**== Atleast mazabuka is claiming for some farming inputs,does that show that these other places they have?? cumon, make requests
