Chipo Nachibbatu

Agriculture Minister Reuben Mtolo has urged agro-dealers to uphold integrity as government rolls out the 2025/2026 Farmer Input Support Programme under a fully implemented e-voucher system.

Addressing dealers in Lusaka, Mr. Mtolo warned that any malpractice such as discounting vouchers or fraud will lead to immediate termination of business ties.

He said government expects clear coverage across all provinces, districts, and constituencies to ensure fair access to inputs, stressing that FISP goes beyond maize to include livestock, aquaculture, rice, and honey production.

Mr. Mtolo further announced that all outstanding payments to dealers had been cleared and assured timely fortnightly disbursements going forward.

He also advised large suppliers to formalize contracts with smaller dealers to prevent disputes, cautioning that government may revert to bulk purchases if the private sector fails to deliver.

The Minister encouraged agro-dealers to diversify into irrigation equipment and livestock products in line with Zambia’s broader agricultural transformation agenda.

Chipo Nachibbatu

Farmers in Southern Province have expressed concern over government’s directive that requires every farmer to sell at least 10 bags of maize to the Food Reserve Agency before accessing farming inputs under the Farmer Input Support Programme.

Go Back to the Land Zambia Executive Director, Cyprian Chimwendo Phiri, has described the move as a challenge for small-scale farmers.

He has appealed to the Ministry of Agriculture to reconsider the directive and allow farmers to sell what they can afford, while reserving part of their harvest for household consumption.
