Kawambwa District has started receiving fertilizer for the 2009/2010
farming season.
District Agriculture Coordinator Henry Mugomba confirmed the
development to ZANIS in Kawambwa today.
Mr. Mugomba says the transportation of fertilizer to the area is being
undertaken by Nyiombo investment.
He says the delivery of the inputs started in April this year and so
far 2,760 x 50kg bags of urea and 2,760 x 50kg bags of D- Compound
fertilizers have been transported to the area.
Mr. Mugomba expressed happiness that the delivery of
fertilizer to the district has started very early this year as compared
to last year.
Mr. Mugomba said he is expecting some more of the commodity to be transported to Kawambwa
because the storage shed is large enough to accommodate more than
15,000 bags.
In a related development, Kawambwa District Marketing Cooperatives Officer
Kennedy Siyandi says seeds are also expected to be transported to the area
soon.

Iwe LT, i said the intended beneficiaries must access it!!!!! Chizungu.
Please make sure that the distribution is done fairly. Also ensure that the management is corruption free.
Good! farm hard so our people in 6 to 9 months be starving while we will be sending maize to RB’s village in Zimbambwe.
So far, so good. I’m happy for the farmers. BTW do they still grow tea in Kawambwa?
Does anyone the price of this fertiliser that is being transported and when it will be available to the farmers? Transporting to Kawambwa does not mean it will all be sold to the framers knowing the theft tendecies of many people given responsibility of looking after government property. Actually early transportation means that the thieves will have more time of planning how to steal it. This fertiliser must be sold immediately and let the farmers keep it for themselves
