Modern Agriculture Solutions Where The Sky Is The Limit

Modern Agriculture Solutions Limited (MAS) is continuously moving to higher heights as it recently received its highest honor and privilege so far this year by showcasing its products and services to the highest office in the land. This year the 2023 Youth celebrations were held at the Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe on 12th March, 2023. The celebrations were officiated by His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema who toured the stands of exhibiting participants which included MAS. He was accompanied by the Minister Of Small and Medium Enterprises and Cooperatives, Honorable Elias Mubanga.


Keeping up with its usual standards the Chief Executive Officer Mrs Sally Yamba Yamba of MAS represented the company and showcased various products that were on display which included rain hose, double emitter drip floppy, planters, high pressure pumps and hybrid seed. Apart from this the MAS vision was shared with an emphasis on the Knowledge Hub and how there work is enabling farmers to be productive all year round. Mrs Yamba Yamba emphasised on the importance of irrigation, all year round farming practices and how Kitwe is blessed with arable land and water bodies which are favorable for mass production. The Copperbelt should therefore also be referred to as the Greenbelt also. After a well rounded interaction with the president MAS management presented him with a notebook, business card, company profile and best of all a Rainhose irrigation system and mini drip with a commitment and promise to do the installation for the Highest office in Zambia.


What a wonderful and encouraging end to a Youth Day well spent , with an endorsement and a high five by Mr. President himself. As a company the President and his government have our full support when it comes to its Agriculture transformation policies which will see mother Zambia improve her GDP.
Hats off to the whole MAS Team for such a great achievement. Truly from now the Sky is the Limit.

Modern Agriculture Solutions Women Empowerment at Work

Modern Agriculture Solutions (MAS) has once again shown its passion for empowering youth and women through job and wealth creation in the agricultural sector. This year it has made a deliberate move to bring on board an additional 10 women to work as employees of MAS. These women are now working confidently under the MAS umbrella knowing that they are now part of a team that enables and supports women to have a decent livelihood.

On another empowerment platform MAS is also working with another group of women from the community that purchase vegetables for resale at a very high turnover that has kept both MAS and the women busy and with constant income. It has proved beneficial to both parties in terms of income generation and wealth creation.
