The NPP Government will encourage and support improved agricultural productivity and livestock production. Agricultural policies will seek to propel production and productivity. As an NPP Government, we plan to unfold and implement a massive mechanisation plan. Farmers require more support, and we guarantee that this will be executed. We will explore interventions that include:
- Heavy investment in the private sector to increase the surface of consolidated irrigated land, with technological enhancement to the ideals of mechanization;
- Working with the private sector and all other interest groups to build storage facilities across the country for both local and industrial farmers to add value to agricultural products;
- Employing techniques to recover abandoned land, and prepare it for agricultural use;
- Production of high-value agricultural crops, and such products may include, but not limited to, fruits, vegetables and flowers;
- Ensuring that farmers are given the necessary tools for major grocers to have direct access to market their products;
- Introduction of programmes in the Agriculture sector to attract interest; and,
Training to professionalize the process of vesting and owning land to yield quality products.
