NGABWE Town Council Chairperson Golden Kalebuka has urged farmers in the district to prepare for El Nino and stock enough maize for consumption. 

Mr Kalebuka said the harvest the district recorded this season is encouraging hence the need for farmers to reserve enough for household food security.

And Ngabwe District Commissioner (DC) Stanley Mwendachabe disclosed that efforts are being made to ensure that FRA operations in the district are delinked from Kapiri Mposhi.

Mr Mwendachabe said this will avert the challenges farmers face during the maize purchasing process.

Farmers that are currently selling maize to the FRA have been complaining of the slow process.

Ngabwe district currently only has three FRA depots.
