Transportation of fertilizer to selling points has been affected in some areas due to poor roads which become impassable during the rainy season.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from transportation of fertilizer which affects availability of fertilizer in selling points, other challenges hindering the multi-billion kwacha program include network glitches which means beneficiaries cannot be able to redeem their fertilizer bags.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, beneficiaries are being forced to pay money in order to buy the cheap fertilizer. Recently, Bvumbwe police and agriculture authorities in Thyolo recovered K320, 000 which some villagers leaders collected from beneficiaries of the AIP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
