OCP Africa, a division of OCP Nutricrops, along with the Zambian Ministry of Agriculture, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The aim is to work together on an extensive project designed to speed up the change in Zambia’s agriculture industry. This significant accord initiates a fresh era of collaboration focused on enhancing farmers’ capabilities, encouraging eco-friendly methods, and boosting output via cutting-edge and location-specific strategies.
Rooted in a common objective to revamp agriculture and boost food security, this alliance underscores OCP Africa’s dedication to collaborating with governmental bodies to establish equitable agri-systems. This accord delineates a strategic cooperation structure aimed at tackling crucial developmental sectors throughout the agricultural supply chain, harnessing Zambia’s capabilities to serve as an exemplar for technology-driven farming within the region.
This effort centers around three key areas essential for sustainable agricultural growth:
-
Farmer Capacity Building
– Strengthening farmers’ capabilities via focused educational initiatives designed to encourage superior agricultural techniques and boost output efficiency.
-
Soil Mapping and Fertilizer Customization
– Employing digital instruments to gain deeper insights into Zambia’s soil conditions and create tailored fertilization strategies to enhance productivity and increase agricultural output.

These foundational elements will allow for the development of tailored strategies addressing the distinct obstacles encountered by Zambian farmers, promoting resilience, effectiveness, and enduring value generation. Through facilitating knowledge sharing, evidence-backed initiatives, and scientifically informed resource adjustments, this initiative seeks to establish a basis for a more environmentally friendly and robust farming industry.
