Opposition Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD) president Nevers Mumba says the late delivery of inputs will jeopardize the food security of the country.
Dr Mumba said the Patriotic Front government had been causal in their approach to improving the food security in the country with their chaotic agricultural policies.
He said the late delivery of inputs and the delay in paying farmers who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency was hurting the morale of the farmers ahead of the 2014 farming season.
“The promise of the PF government was that they will deliver inputs on time and that farmers will be paid but the situation on the ground is not the corresponding which is typical of the PF,” he said.
Dr Mumba said the PF was departing from the healthy record of the of bumper harvests left by the MMD.
