President Edgar Lungu has described the Agriculture, Productivity and Enhancement project that is underway in Chitambo district is an integrated approach to value addition.
President Lungu says the cassava processing plant project will help in adding value to cassava.
He said government is encouraging value addition to a variety of crops so as to enable the huge trickle-down effect of job creation.
The Head of State who is on a working visit of Central Province toured the Agriculture, Productivity and Enhancement Project in Chitambo district.
“This is good. Value addition is what we want as government. It is a way to go,” the President said.
President Lungu further advised that farmers should be assisted with good cassava seed as not all seed that can be used for value addition.
And District Agriculture Coordinating Officer, Katumwa Mutandi said farmers producing cassava have been identified to benefit from the project.
He explained that with the available raw material for the project, farmers will find an already existing market once the project is implemented
Eagle one working too hard as usual. I am always begging our president to rest. However his passion for taking care of his people always wins. I cannot stop him over working. Ba kateka
Boziba tiyala kulya tute – Dora Siliya.
He is impressed with anything, meanwhile the countries economy is gone. When is he going to realize PF is in the ninth year and start working
The most inconsequential “president” in the history of Zambia and Africa. Utterly incompetent. Almost 5 years of Zambia’s waste development efforts. He needs to be voted out as soon as possible. The country is totally gone to the pigs!
“This is good. Value addition is what we want as government. It is a way to go,” the President said.
This is what we have been telling this lungu from the past 6 to 7 years……
But Bwana Lungu surely 6 % or even 7% growth of Zambian economy would be more impressive than cassava. Very simple minded chap.
The president touring a cassava farm!!
Anyway, It’s not appropriate to ridicule a feeble minded person, so I won’t be saying much about this Lungu.
@ Monomotapa, LOL. Not appropriate to ridicule a feebly minded person
That is the way to go Mr President, from cassava you can make chips you can make starch you brew beer you can grind bags cassava meal for nshima. You can do a lot from cassava and you create more jobs for Zambians.
KZ, how much money do you waste on your so called internet security which you say is run by servers in UK? On the other hand ,how on earth do marry your two trades ; Lab tech and advising the president on political matters affecting zambians in Chawama and Lundazi ? Your previous trade and your current one are miles apart .Ukupima amafi and advising the head of state on political matters affecting poor and suffering Zambians .Has any of your advice to Chishane shane helped improve the life of an ordinary Zambian ? If it has ,can you give us such examples ?
