The Temo Crop Management System will reopen temporarily to allow farmers and service providers to complete pending transactions under the Lemang Dijo programme for the 2025/26 cropping season.

A press release from the Ministry of Lands and Agriculture says the system will be accessible from April 30 to May 7.

The release says the window is specifically intended for processing outstanding transactions that were not finalised before the official close of the season.

Therefore, all affected stakeholders, including micro-scale farmers, tractor owners and animal draught power service providers, are urged to take advantage of this period and no claims for tillage services will be accepted after May 7, hence critical for participants to meet the deadline.

The release also states that to complete transactions, service providers are required to submit supporting documentation, including coordinates of the planted field or a GPS-tagged photograph of the field and an affidavit from the farmer confirming that the service was rendered

It further says payments will not be processed until all required documents have been submitted and successfully verified.

Furthermore, it says all service providers must ensure compliance with financial requirements, including submission of Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation to the National Development Bank (NDB) and confirm that their bank accounts are active to facilitate payments.

It also states that any transactions not completed within the stipulated timeframe will be considered invalid and will not be honoured.

“The ministry urges all farmers and service providers to adhere strictly to these timeliness and requirements to avoid financial loss,” reads the release.ends
