Reacting to recent revelations that over 2,000 farmers in Vubwi’s Zozwe area have not received inputs for the 2018/19 season, NDC Provincial Chairperson Samuel Lugomo Phiri, said the PF has mismanaged farmers in the country.
Mr Phiri notes that the latest problem is not only peculiar to Vubwi, stating that most farmers even in Chipata have not received their inputs.

Mr Phiri indicates that in areas like Luangeni in Chipata, most farmers where given top dressing fertilizer before compound-D.
