Over two thousand three hundred farmers in Kalulushi on the Copperbelt will receive inputs under the Food Security Pack (FSP) Programme for the 2024-2025 farming season.
Kalulushi Community Development Officer, Aubrey Chanda, said each farmer will receive White and Orange Maize seed as well as a bag of Urea and two bags of D Compound fertilizer.
Mr Chanda told ZANIS in Kalulushi that the government will also distribute Beans, Soya Beans and other Legumes to the farmers to enhance productivity and national food security in the 2024-2025 farming season.
“Government will not recruit any new members under FSP this year because of low productivity due to the drought that the nation experienced in the last farming season,” said Mr. Chanda.
Mr Chanda noted that the Government will continue to support old members adding that this has been done in order to cushion the impact of drought and also to promote food security at various household levels.
Meanwhile 2800 farmers also received inputs for irrigation farming under emergency wetlands as a response to the drought.
He said the farmers ventured into Maize production and vegetable gardening to sustain the household food basket.
Mr Chanda said that this was done to cushion the drought burden and also to safeguard food security in the communities
How I wish such proactive actions could be done at Zesco….
Imagine amending the constitution to spite someone like FTJ did to KK, that is so low. You will not win, pipo will NEVER let you continue to ruin the already backward nation, you freaks!!!!!! Just get out of ZED already!!!!!

When you have such people like the one above who is a professional in complaining and condemning others please stay away from such, if you do not you will be poor to the end of your life because such people have no capacity to see opportunities. Where there are opportunities them they see problems, they forget that if they are problems in the society its an opportunity to solve them and make money
This is just one big scam
half will be sold off in the next few days
There is no checks and balances
Maybe it can be classed as vote buying
So what? Sold off to other farmers who will use the inputs.
