According to the UPND, the government was able to reduce the cost of fertilizer for the Farmer Input Supply Program-FISP by 150 million dollars.
The money was saved, according to UPND Spokesperson CORNELIUS MWEETWA, through contract renegotiations and cancellations with input suppliers.
He claimed that by purchasing fertilizer for 370 million dollars rather than the initial 523 million dollars, the government was able to save roughly 150 million dollars.
According to Mr. MWEETWA, this procedure is to blame for the delay in getting inputs to farmers.
When discussing the year 2022 on ZNBC’s Sunday Interview show, he made this statement.
Mr. MWEETWA did point out that the majority of the provinces have already gotten the necessary supplies, indicating that the government is on track with the distribution of farming inputs.
