The Agriculture Technical and Professional Staff Union of Zambia (ATPSUZ) has cautioned government against policy inconsistence as this affects service delivery.

Reacting to the government u-turn on the ban on the importation of vegetables and fruits, Union General Secretary Joe Kamutumwa has appealed to government to reinstate the ban.

Mr Kamutumwa says government should only exempt a few fruits that local farmers cannot produce.

He has reminded the government that local farmers need their support by way of implementing the ban.

Meanwhile, Young Emerging Farmers Initiative (YEFI) Director of Administration, Zinya Tembo has advised Government to consult with various stakeholders both from the informal and informal sectors, and representatives of the farmers to find ways of how local farmers can increase their participation in supplying farm produce.
