Speaking when he called on Luapula Province Minister at his office today, Lt General Solochi disclosed that the traditional leadership has already released land where the cannabis farm will be established.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis farm will be an industrial one as it will not only end at cultivating the cannabis but it will also process it so that we can add value to it,\u201d said Lt. Gen Solochi.<\/p>\n

He observes that Luapula Province has very good climate and that the command will explore more areas where they can put up various farms for Agricultural activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to utilise the available natural water resources which Luapula has by venturing into fish farming through the putting up of big fish ponds like we are currently doing in Chanyanya,\u201d He disclosed.<\/p>\n

Luapula Province is of great interest to the Zambia National Service hence , the Defence will continue to explore ways ensuring that it contribute to the country\u2019s food security.<\/p>\n

And Luapula Province Minister Derricky Chilundika observes that the coming of Zambia National Service in the Province will boost the agriculture sector. Mr Chilundika observed that with Zambia National Service coming in the province, the potential of the region will be realized.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuapula can be the country\u2019s food basket, due to its potential which has remained untapped, all that is needed is to have more investments in the agriculture sector hence your decision to expand your activities in the Province is most welcome, as it will go a long way in realised the potential,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
