All Zambians Must Become Farmers
Siulapwa, Still Singing
By Ashton Kelly Bunda
New Generation Party President Humphrey Siulapwa has urged government to persuade all Zambian citizens to ignite an agriculture Revolution by becoming farmers regardless of age ,creed , class and career to create a food exporting nation .
Speaking
during a weekly press briefing on Sunday 21st May 2023 at ZAMCOM
lodge Siulapwa said the Mealie Meal shortages that rocked the nation 2 months ago must become a learning
cave for Zambians to impose themselves
and start competing globally in the
agriculture and livestock sector since the nation is endowed with more
that 40 percent of water sources ,arable land and fairly good weather.
“all
Zambians must aim at producing 20 million metric tones of maize put together in the next 10 years to over come Mealie Meal
shortages as well as increasing agriculture exports to strengthen the Kwacha
currency , almost every Zambian should strive to produce 5 bags of maize , I
have friends from China who are looking for 12 million tones of Soya beans ,but
we found was little in Zambia “Siulapwa lamented.
The
determined looking New Generation Party president said the the agriculture
revolution is only answer to mass production of at least one hundred million
metric tones of food every year that will satisfy all populations South of the
equator .
Siulapwa
referred to USA and Chinise economies growth due to mass production and that
USA produce 100 million metric tones of maize every.
Siulapwa
concluded with the idea of incorporating the Zambia National Service (ZNS) farm
college that must be established to support the nation in any way by training
young people attain associate degree level to learn to grow their own food.
