Kaoma District Commissioner Kashina Sheba says about 90 percent of farmers who supplied maize to government through the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) for the 2025\/2026 market season have been paid.<\/p>\n
Ms. Sheba emphasized government\u2019s commitment to ensuring that all farmers receive their money, noting that banks have extended working hours up to 21:00 hours to facilitate payments, with 500 to 600 farmers being paid daily.<\/p>\n
She urged the remaining farmers to remain calm, assuring them that funds have already been released and payments will be completed soon.<\/p>\n
Ms. Sheba added that Kaoma is currently handling payments for its own farmers, while those from Luampa and Nkeyema are being paid in their respective districts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a Government we’re committed to ensuring that all our farmers receive their money. The bank has extended its working hours from morning up to 21:00 hours, and about 500 to 600 farmers are being paid every day, so far about 90% of our farmers have received their money. I want to urge our farmers who have not yet been paid to remain calm, as they will all receive their money soon,\u201d Ms Sheba stated.<\/p>\n
