“All projects visited are beneficiaries of the Ministry’s Agricultural Value Chain Programme, a key initiative designed to enhance agricultural productivity, improve market access, strengthen value addition, and empower local communities,” he said.
He added that the ultimate goal is to achieve food self-sufficiency and sustainable economic growth within the region.
Nghipandulwa said that among the key sites visited were the Liselo Horticulture Gardens and the Chefuzwe Poultry Value Chain Beneficiary.
