ZAMBIA is a breadbasket in Southern Africa, first lady Maureen Mwanawasa has said. Speaking at State House yesterday when she received donations of fertiliser and rice on behalf of the Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative (MMCI), Maureen said Zambia had produced enough food for local consumption and export.

“Zambia is a breadbasket in the region. We are proud that the food is grown by subsistence farmers,” Maureen said.

She said the MMCI was aware that agriculture played an important role in national development. Maureen said the fertiliser, which Zambian Fertiliser donated, would help the women and vulnerable people produce their own food.

“This will help us drive agriculture forward,” she said.

Maureen said women needed to have food to take care of their children and have good living standards. She said women had been carrying faces of hunger for a long time but through donations from MMCI’s cooperating partners, the women could now carry faces of happiness. She said the MMCI wanted to empower women to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

“We rely on our cooperating partners to achieve the MDGs,” she said.
Maureen also observed that Zambian products had become competitive on the local and international markets.

She encouraged Zambians to support and buy Zambian products.
“Let us promote our Zambian products,” said Maureen.

Zambian Fertiliser donated 1,000 bags of fertiliser while Van De Ghinste Group of companies, which produces rice in Zambia, donated several bags of rice.
