Solwezi District has received farming inputs for the 2025/2026 season under the Rain-fed Food Security Pack (FSP) Programme, aimed at supporting vulnerable yet viable smallholder farmers.
District Community Development Officer Enos Mutwale confirmed the delivery, which includes 2,576 bags of 50kg Compound D fertilizer, 2,576 bags of 50kg Urea, 1,288 bags of 10kg maize seed, and 640 bags of 10kg Mbereshi beans. He also noted that 644 bags of 10kg groundnuts are still to be delivered.
Mr Mutwale said the district has 1,288 beneficiaries drawn from six Community Welfare Assistance Committees (CWACs) namely Kimasala, Sandang’ombe, Kyafukuma, Tumvwang’anai, Kifubwa and Kapijimpanga.
“We have received almost all the inputs under the rain-fed Food Security Pack for the 2025/2026 cycle. Only the groundnuts are pending delivery,” Mr Mutwale said.
He explained that each beneficiary will receive two 50kg bags of Compound D, two 50kg bags of Urea, one 10kg bag of maize seed and either a 10kg bag of beans or groundnuts.
The media reports that Solwezi is among the districts using the Food Security Pack Management Information System (FSP-MIS) for the digital distribution and redemption of inputs.
The Ministry of Community Development and Social Services is rolling out the system to improve transparency, efficiency and accountability in the selection and distribution process, while reducing audit queries.
