And district agricultural coordinator, Jacob Shawa has announced that the district would soon advertise for the engagement of transporters to distribute this year’s inputs.

Mr.  Shawa said his office was geared to work within the time frame stipulated by government within which inputs should be distributed in the country.

He said the distribution of inputs to various parts of the district would commence once successful transporters were selected.

Mr. Shawa was quick to point out that Nitrogen Chemical of Zambia has opened a branch in Mungwi for easy monitoring of the distribution of inputs under their charge.

He revealed that Niombo Investments LTD has also transported the D-compound to various depots in the district.
