Central Province Agricultural Coordinator (PACO) Adreen Nansungwe, said 127, 605 farmers were successfully registered out of the 172, 149 total allocation for the province.
Speaking in an interview in Kabwe, Dr. Nansungwe said the number is expected to go up by the close of the week because registered farmers are uploaded unto the system every day.
She said out of the successful registered farmers 27, 923 have made their deposits while 7, 405 cards were loaded with redeemable amounts.
The PACO said at the time of the interview only three farmers had fully redeemed their inputs while, 17 had done a partial redeeming.
Dr. Nansungwe observed that the total target for the province may slightly reduce after some salaried workers who are ineligible were initially enlisted on the programme
And More than 5, 000 farmers have deposited their money on the e-Voucher system cards under the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) in Katete District in Eastern Province.
Katete District Agriculture Coordinator (DACO) Robbie Musendo in an interview said the district has only remained with about 760 farmers who have not yet deposited the monies.
Government introduced the e-voucher system in order for farmers to access subsidized inputs
And more than 1,000,000 farmers are earmarked to benefit from the programme
Tell the nation the truth
This is not impressive, farmers should have finished planting by now, why are you still registering farmers this late..we only have few days remaining to enter 2018.

I have not heard of any controls. Controls are important and cannot be left out when telling this news Dr Nansungwe.
Can you tell us what controls have been put in place so the nation can critique your weak controls?
Namwingilé’fi puku umo… though an speculating, this is zed anything is possible if you can buy forty two 1980 fire truck for one million dollars each and ensure one two hundred thousand dollars.
