what makes Chisamba smallholdings ideal?
Chisamba was created out of Chibombo district in 2013, and is one of the twelve districts in Central Province.
Both commercial and small-scale farmers in this district grow a good amount of maize and through bumper crop production they contribute to national food security.
Chisamba has fertile soils that support any kind of crops that you’d want to grow on your farm. The district also receives a favorable amount of rains, however, climate change has affected rain patterns across the country.
Chisamba district is fed by three rivers, the Mwomboshi, Musuwishi and Mulungushi. It’s also surrounded by the Miombo woodlands, which are a designated bird sanctuary.
Currently the feeder roads are being rehabilitated to ease transportation of farm inputs and implements. The council is in the process of putting up a filling station and a shopping mall in the district.
There’s so much to commend the Chisamba area!
