ZAMBIA COTTON PRICE STALEMATE CONTINUES

The national farmers group in Zambia has stuck to guns over demands for a favourable selling price of cotton.

This is in backdrop of protracted negotiations over the price of the commodity, with the cotton ginners insisting on the 1,600 kwacha tag per kilogramme.

But the ZNFU has today told its farmers in southern Zambia not to sale the commodity until the price stalemate is resolved.

According to the state news agency, ZANIS, Regional Manager, Mwaka Kayula says farmers must not succumb to pressure from the cotton ginners.
