The Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) supports vulnerable smallholder farming households by improving access to essential agricultural inputs and promoting increased agricultural productivity and food security.
Key areas of focus include:
- Improving access to affordable agricultural inputs
- Supporting smallholder farmers to increase crop production and productivity
- Promoting access to improved seed and fertiliser
- Strengthening farmer registration, targeting and beneficiary management
- Improving transparency and accountability in the distribution of subsidised inputs
- Promoting efficient and timely access to farm inputs
- Supporting food and nutrition security at household and national level
- Strengthening monitoring and accountability throughout programme implementation
- Promoting sustainable agricultural production and improved household incomes
The Ministry coordinates implementation of FISP in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and structures at national, district and local levels to ensure that targeted farming households can access subsidised agricultural inputs.
