Habitat for Humanity Zambia in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture is holding a 4-day technical skills training targeting 5 savings groups that were formed with support from Habitat for Humanity Zambia in Kabwe’s Makululu community. The groups were selected to receive seed fund based on the viability of their business ideas under the Etex funded project.
Today, we trained one of the groups named Chintelelwe Savings Group in value addition for agricultural products focusing on the groundnuts value chain. The group that was formed in 2020 intends to run a peanut butter business. The group further intends to purchase machinery for the production peanut butter once it receives the fund.
Senior Agricultural Officer Ms Patricia Kaoma who is facilitating the session stressed the need for the group to understand their business and draw a marketing strategy including the importance of branding.
After the training, the group will be linked to the Ministry of Agriculture for technical support.
