AGRIC EXPERT CALLS FOR TIMELY DISTRIBUTING OF FARMING INPUTS

An Agriculture Expert is calling on government to expedite the process of distributing farming inputs to farmers under the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP).

Dr. Oliver Bulaya tells Money FM News in an interview that any delay in the distribution process, will negatively affect crop yields in the 2024/2025 farming season.

Dr. Bulaya believes that this is the recovery year for the agriculture sector after a challenging season, therefore the need to ensure timely delivery of inputs.

He has however commended government for supporting over 1 million farmers with farming inputs, as this will help them to get back on track.
