ALL OUTSTANDING MAIZE PAYMENTS TO FARMERS TO BE CLEARED BY JANUARY 10, 2026 - Finance and National Planning Minister Dr. SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE has said all outstanding payments to farmers who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency will be fully settled by January, 10, 2026, seeking to reassure growers amid concerns over payment delays.
In a statement, the Minister acknowledged the delays but said the FRA was continuing to receive funds from financing institutions, alongside proceeds from ongoing maize sales, allowing payments to be made on a rolling basis ahead of the final settlement date.
“Farmers will continue to receive their payments during this period, even before the final instalment is received,” the Minister said.
The Minister said timely payments were critical for household welfare, sustaining livelihoods and enabling farmers to prepare for the current farming season, adding that the Government remained committed to ensuring every farmer was paid in full within the stated timeframe.
Finance Minister Dr. SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE thanked farmers for their patience and contribution to national food security and economic stability, echoing remarks by President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA.
Further updates would be issued as necessary.
