Satisfied Beneficiary with SAPP II

Tuweni Dayisoni, a beneficiary of Response to Emergency and Disasters (RED) component under Sustainable Agriculture Production Programme (SAPPII) indicated that in the past two years, it has been challenging for farmers in the district to buy fertilizer and expressed hope that organizations would come to their rescue.

In this year’s farming season, she said that no-one in Bwaila Ward received subsidized fertiliser; but the coming in SAPP II has made a difference and if it wasn’t for the initiative, many could not afford to buy fertiliser at the prevailing market prices.

She expressed gratitude with the SAPP II intervention sponsored by the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) which has made it possible for her to continue farming and appealed to authorities to ensure affordable fertilizer prices.
