FISP COMPLETED IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE

By Lucky Phiri:

The Government says the distribution of fertilizer to farmers under the Farmer support Input programme has been completed in Southern Province.

This follows the arrival of the last consignment of the urea fertilizer which has been delivered by ALPHA Commodities to the Province.

And Southern Province Minister CORNELIUS MWEETWA says the government is satisfied with the supplier of the farming inputs for delivering the commodities within a short notice.

Mr MWEETWA has assured farmers that all the Districts will receive fertilizer before the end of this week.

He says the government is impressed that the suppliers have lived up to the contractual obligations.

Mr MWEETWA has told a media briefing in Choma District that it is the desire of the government to deliver inputs on time to farmers.

He said the distribution of the farming inputs was delayed because the government had to increase the number of bags of fertilizer from THREE to SIX per farmer.

Mr MWEETWA said going forward; the government will start delivering the inputs to the farmers before the rainy season.

Meanwhile, one of the Farmers in Pemba District WILFRED MILANDU commended Alpha Commodities for ensuring that farmers receive the fertilizer.
