MINISTRY OF AGRICULTUREPRESS STATEMENT (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)
8th January 2026 – The Ministry of Agriculture is pleased to inform the farming community, agricultural stakeholders, and cooperating partners of the remarkable progress recorded in the implementation of the 100 percent Electronic Voucher (e-Voucher) system under the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP).
The Ministry remains highly encouraged by the exceptional level of farmer participation and the continued strong performance of the digital platform, which has significantly enhanced transparency, accountability, and timely access to farming inputs across the country.
So far, a total of 1,020,739 farmers, representing 99.64 %, have successfully redeemed their farming inputs out of a total of 1,024,434 targeted beneficiaries.
The Ministry acknowledges and commends the important role played by the private sector, particularly accredited input suppliers and agro-dealers, whose nationwide presence has greatly contributed to the efficient and timely distribution of inputs under the programme.
The Ministry is confident that the few remaining farmers will redeem their inputs within the shortest possible time and urges them to do so without delay in order to fully benefit from the ongoing rainy season.
Government remains fully committed to delivering an efficient, farmer-friendly, and accountable Farmer Input Support Programme that promotes sustainable agricultural growth and productivity.
