Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The faltering hope on Affordable Input Programme (AIP) is fast regaining its consciousness in Chitipa where Malawi Defence Force (MDF) trucks delivered the inputs on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

On Thursday evening, the Minister of National Unity Timothy Pagonachi Simbega Mtambo witnessed the departure of MDF trucks leaving Smallholder Farmers Fertiliser Revolving Fund of Malawi (SFFRFM) depot in Mzuzu heading for Chitipa.<\/p>\n

It is expected that beneficiary farmers from Nthalire in Chitipa South will start accessing fertiliser the inputs this weekend. Mtambo told local journalists in Mzuzu that the Chakwera administration remained determined to see all the earmarked beneficiaries accessing the inputs in good time.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment wants to create a special warehouse at Kapoka in Chitipa from where the inputs will have to be taken to other areas like Nthalire. The MDF soldiers will have to be in Chitipa up to the time that this exercise is completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to load as much Fertilizer as possible at Kapoka so that it becomes a central point. Let me assure people of Nthalire that Fertiliser will be there soon. I have also asked SFFRFM officials to come up with more selling points like at Mzimba and Karonga boma,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

SFFRFM official in Mzuzu, Loyce Potani, said they dispatched 1, 750 NPK fertiliser bags to Nthalire. \u201cWe will have a backup from Liwonde where trucks will be delivering direct to Kapoka, from where MDF soldiers will be taking the stock to Nthalire,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, members of the AIP Taskforce have gone on the ground to appreciate and resolve transport and logistical challenges that have emerged during implementation of this year\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n

Minister Mtambo \u2013 who is a member of the AIP Taskforce Team \u2013 assured farmers in the Northern Region that 500 tonnes of NPK and UREA fertilizers will be delivered by end of this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had fewer trucks to deliver fertilizers straight from Liwonde and Lilongwe, but these challenges have since been resolved,\u201d said Mtambo.<\/p>\n

Minister of Agriculture Sam Dalitso Kawale is currently inspecting AIP delivery exercise in the other northern districts of Malawi while the Minister of Youth Richard Chimwendo Banda \u2013 who is also the Chairperson for AIP Committee \u2013 is in the Southern Region.<\/p>\n
