The country is set to achieve food self-sufficiency this year after two successive seasons of drought . Increased targeted investments in the agricultural sector will help the progress being made by the country to reclaim its status as the breadbasket of the region. Programmes such as Pfumvudza/Intwasa Conservation Scheme, Zunde Ramambo, National Enhanced Crop Productivity Scheme (Command Agriculture), the Livestock Growth Plan and mechanisation have assisted in increasing productivity. In his year-end State of Agriculture report, Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement Minister Dr Anxious Masuka said the trend needs to be maintained and sustained. “We are on course to achieving national food security in 2021, but we want permanent national food security,” said Dr Masuka.
