On another exciting journey, Modern Agriculture Solutions Limited has now embarked on forging relationships with potential partners in the mining sector by participating in the “Women in Mining Forum and Exhibition 2023” held by Mopani in collaboration with Prospero Limited and CBU Africa Centre with the theme “ Creating deliberate spaces for information sharing, dialogue and business growth”. The event was held at Garden Court Hotel in Kitwe from 29th March to 30th March, 2023 and ended with a tour of Mopani mines on 31st March, 2023.
In its efforts to change the mindsets of the corporate world in the mining sector, Modern Agriculture Solutions Limited chose to showcase its products and services in order to encourage the big mining sector companies to include agriculture and better farming solutions in their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR). Mopani Copper Mines Plc specifically is a potential partner in enhancing productivity among smallholder farmers in Chief Nkana’s chiefdom. CSR programs for the community should actively encourage and support better farming solutions. Modern Agriculture Solutions Limited also showcased itself to women and miners as an encouragement to women and miners as potential new entrants into the agriculture sector. On exhibit were Rain hose irrigation of all sizes, Floppy irrigation, double emitter drip hand held planter, high pressure pumps, hybrid seeds and 3 inch filters.
Modern Agriculture Solutions Limited represented by the Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Sally Yambayamba and the Chief Technical Director, Mr. Changala Yambayamba was privileged to present its products and services to the Guest of Honour, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Ms. Yvonne Mpundu. As words of encouragement on the first day of the event in her opening speech Ms. Mpundu noted that participation of organizations such as Prospero Limited and Mopani Copper Mines Plc in events such as the Forum and Exhibition was an avenue to influence policy that stimulates women’s participation in the mining sector. The event promotes government engagements with the private sector to interact on policies that can make an enabling environment in the mining value chain.
Modern Agriculture Solutions in its quest to expand its horizons will continue to participate in important events such as this one and forge new partnerships and business linkages while maintaining its old ones.
