Zambia National Farmers Union president Jervis Zimba has stated that the statement made by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) on tomato and cabbage dumping by some farmers is extremely irresponsible and must be condemned. Recently, the CCPC opposed ZNFU’s appeal to farmers to “refrain from dumping” several fresh vegetables on the local market.
Zimba: “The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has noted with concern the call by the Zambia National Farmers Union to farmers ‘to refrain from dumping’ several fresh vegetables on the local market. This call is an affront to limiting access to markets to the various farmers that are producing to scale and is against the spirit of competition promotion.”
