The Ministry of Agriculture wishes to inform the General Public especially vendors, purchasers and retailers that the theft of agricultural produce continues to be a problem for farmers.
The Ministry is therefore seeking the public’s cooperation in supporting local farmers and their livelihoods by not purchasing agricultural produce from non-farmers.
The Ministry has a farmer’s registration system where all farmers are required to register with the Ministry of Agriculture, registered farmers then are issued an identification card.
To aid in ensuring that the vendor from which you are making a purchase is authorized to do so, please ensure that the seller issues a receipt for after purchases as well as a telephone number or shows their identification card as evidence.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this regard.
