Who We Are
The National Union for Small-Scale Farmers of Zambia (NUSFAZ) is dedicated to empowering small-scale farmers by promoting sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring their participation in both national and global markets. Founded in 2014, NUSFAZ supports farmers through access to finance, market opportunities, capacity building, and advocacy, striving to transform small-scale farming into viable, competitive commercial enterprises.
