BanQu and Zambian Breweries Empower Local Farmers
BanQu’s partnership with Zambian Breweries results in a sure and stable market for cassava farmers in 2020.
Zambian Breweries was lauded by the Zambian government for equipping cassava farmers with the BanQu app and empowering them with new digital and financial skills, an automated payment system, and a reliable buyer.
Provincial Minister Hon. Nickson Chilangwa said of the new approach:
“Gone are the days of cassava wastage in our province due to lack of buyers. Gone are the days when our farmers would travel several miles in search for buyers, because Zambian Breweries is on board as that reliable buyer and agro-partner.”
