Farmers in Dedza District are concerned about delays in the distribution of certified seed and fertilizer under the Farm Inputs Subsidy Programme.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The delays risk farmers missing the first rains and compromising the planting season. According to the Njonja Farmers Organisation chairperson, if certified seed is not received in time, farmers may be forced to use recycled seed, which could affect yields.
