President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has urged farmers in the country to embrace commercial farming as one way of pushing the achievement of the 2063 Agenda.
Speaking during a whistle-stop tour on Wednesday at Malomo Trading Center in Ntchisi district, President Chakwera said farmers should take farming as a business and develop hard hard-working spirit to overcome climate change-related challenges.
“My vision is to see Ntchisi moving away from subsistence farming to commercial farming and that is why my government established the Agriculture Commercialisation programme to fulfil the dreams.
“People are available to help but let’s work hard and take the ownership agenda of ensuring that we should prosper together,” Chakwera said.
