Fertiliser price slashed from K1,050 to K750 to aid farmers

According to Vice President Mutale Nalumango, the move is expected to ease financial pressure ahead of the upcoming planting season.

Responding to a query from Lubansenshi Member of Parliament Kabwe Chewe in the August House yesterday, Nalumango stated that government’s decision reflects a broader strategy to support farmers and strengthen the agricultural sector.

She emphasised that the price cut is part of deliberate policies designed to make farming more accessible to all.

“The relief extends beyond beneficiaries of the Farmers Input Support Programme (FISP). Vulnerable but capable farmers outside the scheme are being assisted through the Ministry of Community Development, ensuring wider access to essential farming inputs,” she noted.

She also highlighted the Sustainable Agriculture Financing Facility (SAFF), which provides loans through commercial banks to help farmers expand and modernise their operations.

Early results show that farmers participating in this programme are achieving higher yields while managing loans responsibly.

“This adjustment is intended to make farming affordable, boost productivity and enhance food security nationwide. It is therefore important that farmers take full advantage of the support available.”

When the opportunity to come to Elche came up at the end of the transfer window, I talked about it with my family, and also a little internally on a personal level. On a footballing level, we're seeing results. We've been on a good run since the start of the season, and honestly, I'm very happy."

Bad news for Barcelona…bad for us who love Barcelona

When we started this journey, our vision was to bring the best players to Miami. In 2023, we brought the best player to have ever played the game to our city. Today, I am so happy that he’s still as committed as he’s ever been and still wants to wear the pink of Miami and play on our team. As an owner, to have a player that loves the game as much as he does, and who has done as much for the game in this country and to inspire the next generation of young talent as he has, I feel very lucky. Gracias Leo, here’s to the future 🩷
