Some farmers in Sinda District of Eastern Province are reported to have had their crops damaged due to late plating of seed and application of fertilizer respectively.
Masauso Zulu a councilor of Mnyazi ward told Muvi Tv in Sinda that the situation is worse especially that most crops have not produced the desired yield.
He has further disclosed that hunger has already engulfed the area due to high mealie-meal prices and lack of enough food hence villagers surviving on wild fruits known as Nthuza.
There was confusion in the fertiliser supply in 2013/2014 farming season as farmers had not received fertiliser  during planting season.This angered farmers who demanded answers,with some saying governments delay in providing fertiliser would lead to reduced maize production and higher mealie meal prices.They said as a country after experiencing 4 consecutive bumper harvests they felt Zambia could not afford to become a maize importer when we were a net exporter of maize in the region.The farmers said
Last year the government had asked farmers to wait for the fertiliser sourced from Saudi Arabia.The importation of fertiliser from Saudi Arabia, the first time ever, raised a lot of concerns because the private companies which should have brought in 50,000 metric tonnes of Urea had their plans shattered after the government decided to directly engage itself in the deal.
