Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Agriculture in Luanshya district in the Copperbelt province is set to begin sensitising farmers on the minor adjustments to the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) ahead of the 2022\/2023 farming season.<\/p>\n

Luanshya District Commissioner, Once more Ng\u2019onomo, said the farmers will be sensitised on the changes which include the movement from operating as farming cooperatives to individual farmers managing their process.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ng\u2019onomo disclosed that farmers will be expected to make individual deposits as opposed to previous collective deposits made by farming cooperatives. He added that FISP will now include the use of biometrics for beneficiary farmers in the collection of farming inputs.<\/p>\n

He said following the government\u2019s recent clean-up of the farmers\u2019 registers countrywide, individual farmers\u2019 biometrics were obtained from the 2021 Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) voter register from which 6,117 farmers were captured and the ones not reflecting will have to be activated for them to benefit from the FISP exercise.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ng\u2019onomo indicated that Luanshya district has cleaned up the register, which has resulted in the reduction of the number of farmers from 9,021 FISP beneficiaries to 7,521.<\/p>\n

The process allowed for the identification and elimination of ghost farmers and illegal beneficiaries such as civil servants and those in meaningful employment.<\/p>\n

FISP beneficiary farmers will be expected to make a deposit of K400 and receive a 10 kilogramme (kg) bag of maize seed, three by 50 bags of urea and basal fertilizer, with either a 20 kg bag of groundnuts seed or a 25 Kg bag of soya bean seed.<\/p>\n
