Eastern Fodya Association of Zambia EFAZ has stopped giving fertilizer to its members.
Provincial Chairperson, Franklin Mwale says that EFAZ will no longer be involved in giving tobacco farmers fertilizer because it does not fall under the association’s core objectives.
Mr. Mwale told Breeze News this morning that EFAZ also took the decision because last farming season, the association was accused of not representing farmers fully.
Farmers alleged that EFAZ had compromised its position in representing farmers because it was collecting fertilizer from tobacco merchants.
And Mr. Mwale says that EFAZ has introduced its members to tobacco buying companies so that the farmers can deal directly with the buying companies.
