Nkeyema District Commissioner, Maliande Lipoba says the area has received the first batch of 390 metric tonnes of D-Compound fertilizer under the Farmer Input Support Programme(FISP) for the 2021/2022 farming season.
Mr Lipoba reiterated government’s commitment of ensuring that farmers in the district are empowered through FISP in order to create job opportunities for the locals in the district.
“It is anticipated that more farmers will be engaged on this FISP programme considering the number of registered farmers which is now at over 16, 000 in the district,” Mr Lipoba said.
Mr Lipoba said the prompt distribution of farming inputs on time will encourage FISP registered farmers to plan and plant early as the district is the food basket for the province.
