The NFSP is one of the flagship programmes designed to achieve the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which identifies bringing down the cost of living, eradicating hunger, creating jobs, and uplifting the livelihoods of those at the bottom of the pyramid as some of the government’s key governance priorities. [...] The NFSP is a key intervention in the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which identifies bringing down the cost of living, eradicating hunger, creating jobs, and uplifting the livelihoods of those at the bottom of the pyramid as some of the top priorities. [...] The core of the success of the NVSP was the comprehensive farmer registration exercise to guide the selection of qualifying farmers. [...] The decision to use the NFSP-2 to subsidise fertiliser instead of the NVSP was because the government felt the programme had low publicity despite the successful pilot and roll-out. [...] The results show that the government and the private sector achieved roughly the same cost for last-mile distribution, but the private sector has the edge in getting the commodity closest to the farmer.
