Yesterday, my wife and I were delighted to harvest the fish from our backyard fishpond at State lodge.

It reminded us of the simple things we embarked on as a young couple. We have always treasured putting our free time to productive works - no matter how small.

I want as many Zambians, both young and old, to join me in popularizing aquaculture or fish farming as a sure way to generate income and create economic opportunities at household and community levels. We can make aquaculture a big business in #Zambia because the demand is huge!

I have also encouraged families, civil servants included, to get back to owning backyard vegetable gardens - tomatoes, onions, cabbages, kalembula, katapa, bondwe- the list is endless. Let us get agriculture right at every level, starting with households.

Our First Lady, through her Esther Lungu foundation plans to construct few fish ponds for rural-based women and train them on fish farming.

Each one of us can play a part in this endeavour!

I thank you!
