NCZ meets fertiliser distribution target

By KALOBWE BWALYA

THE Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ) has produced and

distributed its targeted 10, 000 tonnes of fertiliser for the 2020-
2021 farming season.
NCZ chief executive officer William Mwale said the company had
managed to meet its fertiliser target
for Kafue, Chilanga and Chongwe
districts.
Mr Mwale appealed to
Government to consider increasing
the allocation to the company as it
had capacity to produce up to 50,
000 tonnes.
He said this yesterday when
Lusaka Province Minister Bowman
Lusambo toured the company.
Mr Mwale said as part of the
country’s Seventh National
Development Plan on diversifying Mr Lusambo
the economy, NCZ had intensified
the production of fertiliser to grow the agriculture sector.
“As a company we have managed to produce and distribute D
Compound,” he said
Mr Lusambo assured the company that he would engage the
Ministry of Agriculture to ensure that the allocation to NCZ was
increased in the next farming season.
He said once the allocation was increased it would create more
employment opportunities for the people in the area.
Mr Lusambo said to promote economic growth Government was
supporting farmers with farming inputs to ensure high productivity
which would lead to food security.
