THE government has started paying wool and mohair farmers owed by the Lesotho Wool Centre (LWC) for their fibre auctioned by the company during the 2018/2019 season.
Addressing journalists this week, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Marketing, Likopo Mahase, said a total of 759 farmers have so far been paid.
He said the total number of farmers whose payments were outstanding was 2710 before the government’s intervention. These were owed M10 530 766, 10.
The arrears arose following a 2018 fibre trading policy change by the government which compelled all farmers to sell their fabric through the then only local broker, the LWC.
