President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday met ITRACOM Group Chairman Adrien Ntigacika of Burundi at State House, where the company expressed interest in investing in Zambia’s fertiliser sector.
ITRACOM Group plans to establish an organo-mineral fertiliser plant that will produce fertiliser using cow dung blended with NPK. The proposed investment is aimed at supporting sustainable agriculture while adding value to locally available raw materials.
The initiative is expected to contribute to improved soil health, increased agricultural productivity, and job creation. It also aligns with government efforts to promote private sector participation, value addition, and environmentally friendly farming practices.
Discussions focused on the investment framework, potential partnerships, and Zambia’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for investors in the agriculture sector.
